RE: Imagine America if Trump declared himself King forever! Now think about Britain...

in #freedom6 years ago

I disagree as to what these common goals Democrats and Republicans have in common, but agree that they're basically controlled by the same people. And that is powerful billionaires and corporations

They give politicians money for their campaigns, which means if a politician goes against them, he loses the necessary money to get reelected. Once the politician is out of office, he is "employed" by those corporation, for which he gets millions of dollars a year. Both of that is quite literally just bribes. And whethter a particular politician is in it for the money or only for the power: Either way he can basically only stay or get in power with the help of those powerful individuals and corporations.

The only way for a politician to circumvent this, and stay independent, is to not take money from corporations or billionaires, and instead only take donations from the people.

What I want to do is to get an Amendent to the Constitution, banning politicians from taking money from corporations or get more than 200$ from anyone, for example billionaires (ban PACs and Super-PACs and lower donation threshold). Additionally, we could introduce a program matching individual donations, so that for every dollar a candidate receives, he gets another one from the state

What do you think about that?

Sort:  

I think that's a good start regarding donations, however we already have something like that( public declaration of political party monies received) in England and it hasn't solved the fact that the entire world is being pushed in the general direction of what I said below.

I think we need to start asking questions of our politicians of long term strategies, not bickering over shit that doesn't really matter.

Rothschilds and other wealthy families probably think about stuff on long time frames, perhaps 100 years into the future, so why don't our politicians?

Ask yourself the question, at the same time try to forget what politicians say...."Since I have been alive has any party actually reduced government, reduced taxes, empowered traditional families, stopped bombing tribal people, reduced debt, reduced gambling, reduced alcoholism or reduced surveillance".

In my lifetime the answer is no.
