    The system allows for the corruption. Of course, the politicians themselves, developed that system.
    And I agree, take the money out of the campaigns and much corruption goes away.
    I posted this in another thread Money = Power = Corruption.

    Well, good luck with that. A Constitutional Amendment is extremely hard to pass. And it sounds like that's just one unlikely event(of several) in your plan.

    She is young, not dumb. She has some new ideas and I like them. She will get better.

    Trump can't see his penis without a mirror and a beautiful gal who is pointing out the way business money is infecting our democracy is being attacked by the right. You should be scared. The House is OURS now.

    Deal with it.

    Ssems to be human nature.
    Unfortunately, business doesn't necessarily limit itself to what's legal.
    We're a long way from getting the money out of politics.

    Did you know that children are not allowed to work in this country?
    Children of working families make up around 40% of welfare assistance, some the other big groups of bums are the elderly, handicap, military families and veterans.

    These people don't care about those. I swing between wanting to club them and wanting to tell them like it is. They don't care. They do not care.

    A human emotion that bonds us all is lost on some.

    Is this a bridge to far? Why not address it? AOC slammed corporate interests and their influence.

    And she was later corrected about how much since what she was talking about accounted for 2% of donations but hey, don't expect to find the truth when someone has an agenda.

    The bigger an organization gets, the more corrupt and power hungry it becomes. That applies to organizations such as unions, government, and religion.

    There is no correlation but feel free to stroke your ego and think you're right.

    I have no problem with companies or individuals donating to campaigns or campaigning nor do I have a problem with drafting legislation. We live in the United States we have the freedom to speak

    I don't think they are socialist, socialism is government control of production, those organizations protect the public, they don't produce a product.

    I have no need to stroke my ego, if you think I'm wrong, then hit me with some facts. This dismissive post leads me to believe you can't.

    So you want the biggest bat to win. More money, more influence.

    I respect you saying that. At least you say it.

    Biggest bat to win? If anything the 2016 election says that’s not true. Trump had way less money then Clinton and not nearly the big business donors...and still won.

    You don't want citizens to speak. I get it. You don't think certain citizens should have a say. I get it,

    Don't dismiss me. And don't dismiss them. Chickens coming home to roost you pompous ass.

    Are you off your meds? What the hell are you talking about. Maybe you should go back to bed and get more sleep before you really make an ass out of yourself.

    What are you trying to say? It’s in my best interested for the govt to limit my speech more? What do tax returns have to do with anything? I made more money and paid less in taxes...I’m. Happy
