You are on a roll lately, Cenk. It's too bad the mainstream media won't report stuff like this.

[aaronsande]

We need stricter conflict of interest rules.

Very true

[SupermarketsRevil]

Exactly

by the way. does america have laws about corruption... if there are those peoples could be put in jail for good. unless court is as corrupted as politics.

[Lobos222]

You know whats funny?

In context of what I just said I have also said, before anyone even knew Barack Obama would run for President, that it was more likely that the US would get a black President than laws like these ever being accepted by the current system.

I dont know, but it would probably take a special event. The biggest hurdle isnt getting the laws passed,but the view of the average American. This would really easily be seen as power taken from the"public"(rich people) and given to Gov.

@Lobos222 That's a great idea. Of course, the obvious hurdle with all reform proposals is how to get the legislation passed. Any ideas on that?

[Lobos222]

There should be laws limiting private backing and the government should pay parties based on there amount of members within a serten limit.

Simple eg:

Lets say your party has60%of the votes.The other party has30%and the rest are independents. You then get40%of the money cake from the state, the other party gets 30%(underdog laws)and the rest goes divided on independents.

Limited money to campaign for,but its the same for everyone and politicians dont need to or are allowed to sell themselves.

@SupermarketsRevil

Like, how where the Nazis liberal. Ask him that.

Everyone had to be part of the Nazi party, by law. How is that liberal?

These people, whoever you replied to, are morons. A educated Republican, with no gain in tricking the public, would never say something stupid like that.

Just another Tea bagging Douche bag

Capitalist or socialist? Don't be so black and white. There are no real examples, anywhere on this planet, of pure capitalism or pure socialism. You should stop thinking in those terms.
