RE: How to Take Money Out of Politics Once and For All
Very well done! If you make the media companies donate equal airtime (that's where the campaign money goes- whatever isn't pocketed) to ALL candidates- it takes the money out of politics. Along with your fines and mandatory sentences for anyone abusing the system. Currently, a senator who serves 6 years, has to raise $7500 (minimum) a day for his entire term just to run again.
Thanks @richq11, to allow the current system to continue is to force a politician into servitude to the corporate class. Where else are they going to get $7500/day? It's designed to be this way for that exact purpose.
Like I say in the story I'm writing: A politician is only as good as the corporations that pay to get him elected.
