There's another fallacy: equating innovation with incentive and incentive with money.

People will innovate for countless other reasons than financial compensation, the main reason being to improve the lives of themselves and others.

The inventors of synthesised insulin sold the patent to a public university for $1 because they never wanted anyone to die because they couldn't afford it. Predatorily capitalist big pharma sure put an end to THAT dream.

And voting out corruption is a good idea in principle, but in a two party (actually two private corporations masquerading as political parties) system that's as corrupt as the American one, it's very rare that you're even ALLOWED to vote for anyone who's not bought and paid for by billionaires and their corporations.
