Which is a comparison that doesn't work and makes zero sense. You might as well have replaced "corporate money" with "your child's allowance", because you would have achieved the same result. Own your salad.
The comparison does work. You claimed corporations allow an individual, the executive of the corporation, to have a greater voice and influence in politics than your typical citizens by granting him/her access to money that does not belong to him. A publicly financed campaign does the exact same thing. It gives a candidate a greater voice and influence in politics than your typical citizen by granting him/her access to money that does not belong to him.
