I'm deeply skeptical that capitalism is a sensible long-term way to run our world. When everything can be made about money, everything is made about money. It doesn't matter how much we've taxed a corporation (especially in the recent environment of skyrocketing corporate profits), if the environment is ruined we're all in trouble.
Capitalism drives the conversion of everything into money, so it's no surprise to me when anything from votes to the air we breathe are turned into money.
