Cuz people with money buy legislators who write the laws.

and you want to give the government more power over our lives so that more rich people can buy legislators who write laws that favor rich people.

that's the part that baffles me about progressives. Conservatives want to reduce the power the government has over our lives and we are the bad guys?

Do you honestly believe that giving more power to the government is a good thing just because they (ostensibly) believe in the same things that you do? More power means more corruption. This is true regardless of which end of the political spectrum we are talking about.
