Re: End bribery and lobbying by large corporations

said by Skippy25:

To further that.. why don't we take ALL funds as you outlined and put them into a US GOVERNMENT FUND that all government agencies/parties have the same access to.
That idea already exists. Ever see that checkoff on your income tax form every year where you can designate $1 for elections. It doesn't work because the constitution(affirmed by SC) allows candidates to spend their own money to get elected. If you then prohibit everyone else from getting contributions, only the very rich can win elections.

Maybe you misread my statement.

My proposal helps prevent the rich from being the only ones elected.

I am not saying it is legal or not. If the constitution says it is legal now, then the constitution can be amended or laws enacted to say it can't be, along with placing term limits on representatives of both the house and senate to eliminate these life long bed buddies of the corporations. The single biggest issue is that you have those in control having to vote to reduce their control. Which we all know will never happen. Therefore I believe a previous poster hit the nail on the head when it said it is going to take an up raising to fix it.

We have tore apart the underlying meaning of this country and the founding fathers idea of the nation and government by "adapting". Now the structure of the government needs to be adapted to account for the sheer greed, power hungry, corruption, and corporate control.
