It's easy, overturn citizens United. Both parties govern in the best interest of the big donors. Obama made his money on crowdfunding small donations but still governed for the big corporations.

All this thread needs is a few piles of wood chips burned now

Progressives would love to tax corporations without allowing corporations engage in the same political process that is taking their money. Mute money buckets are best, yes?2001400ex said:It's easy, overturn citizens United. Both parties govern in the best interest of the big donors.

If you? want to be symmetrical about it, eliminate corporate taxes, political donations, lobbyists and all that messy redress of grievances business, and shift all tax burden to real persons.
Of course, that will never happen politically because real persons get really pissed when there's real transparency. -
What does the corporate tax rate have to do with lobbying? They are two different issues.GrundleStiltzkin said:

And honestly, I think all lobbying with money should be gone, not just lobbying from corporations.
Look at it this way, the electoral college was setup so the large wealthy states didn't have a disproportionate advantage in voting than smaller states. Why is our lobbying system setup where it favors the wealthy and corporations? Not only federal politics but local City politics too. -

We should just tax Jews at 100% percent. We could afford so much socialism with that kind of loot. Think of all the time you could dedicate to something else. Like soccer for instance.

I'll agree to this tentatively in principle in exchange for an accompanying amendment of term limits on all members of Congress. 2 terms max. So there won't be any more Pelosis or Clintons or Bushes or Romneys in the future. Break up the oligarchy. Congress is the House of Lords. Break up the cliques before they can consolidate power. But first you need to address the taxation issue that was raised.

I don’t think you know what a false equivalency is, Michael. See I asked a question, in order for me to say that two things are equivalent I would have to make a statement.MikeDamone said:

Stop using big words when you don’t know what they mean.
