America needs a "responsibility" tax "break"...

@Optis78 I dont get something though. You seem to be misunderstanding what public campaign finance is.
You dont have to give or raise more money. This is simply done through the taxes you already pay.
I dont get what your rambling about in general.

@Optis78 in an idealistic world money wouldnt matter and power wouldnt corrupt.
In this idealistic world, even capitalism might work because people wouldnt be greedy, power hungry, and wouldnt fear for their livelihood if they went from making 10mil a year to making 2mil.
We do not live in this idealistic world though. So we have the 3 powers of gov as check and balance because you would think the other 2 would be enough, yet arent.
Lets stop with the dreaming and work inside reality.

Why not discourage political "donations" by heavily taxing them. Pay the representatives more money, legally. Let Special Interests fund their progressions on their own! By manipulating policy induced by providing tainted sponsorship for electoral candidates and encumbents nothing will get done. Do away with all that and it will inspire the governers in the system to get things done for the people that elect them not *cough* special interests.

I wish corporations couldn't fund political figures at all.

@waltermh111 I'm not a genius,but aren't the politicians suppose to work for us?For the taxes we already pay?I shouldnt have to raise a bunch of money to pay a politician to work for me.I should be able to contact them and work from there.I guess what is happening is that these poli's only have so many hours in a day.So the group that pays for their time on top of their current wage gets priority.Thats a scam!I have no extra cash to have them work for me.I guess the bankers get all the attention

Corruption is all about not paying taxes. It's a univeral Law of getting away with not paying taxes. Sometimes, jail is taxes in corruption. 100 years ago the internal combustion/liquid petrol monopoly was started and they've been forcing 10x overburning ever since. That's not corruption because it's the way it's done. There is a kind of "common knowledge scourge" that goes along with that. i think it's odd at best.

No, we need to follow china, and kill corrupt politicians and bankers. Hell, put me on the squad, I won't hesitate.

@TheBlayzinAsian420 I'm not an American and I never bought into it. I just know that he is an honest person in a corrupt system. He seems a little naive at times but I honestly believe he is the best your going to get at this juncture. He is the only thing standing between you and a corporate takeover.
if we had a corruption tax, DC would have to fine itslef every penny its ever had.

If the Left thinks they still have a Progressive President. They are just Naive! Obama is a Banker! and will probably work for Goldman Sachs after his first term is over.
