Let’s get the politics out of money, instead.

I don’t think you can separate money and politics. But I think you can strive for a lot more transparency.

I also think we need rules against Congressmen owning foreign stock or investments.

I wish they would pass a law making knowingly accepting foreign campaign contributions a treason offense punishable by death. Is everyone ok with that?

I see no downside.

Limit the power of the government to go after business, and money will flow away from government.

Remember the anti-monopoly investigation against Microsoft, when Microsoft was not donating much money to politicians?

If anyone is going to get money out of politics, it will be Mrs Bill. She has got a lot of money out of politics and will get a lot more if the Parkinson's doesn't get her soon.

If you can believe Sorcha Faal today, the money flows both ways. Sorcha Faal is claiming Hillary just moved 1.8 billion dollars to Qatar in the last few days. Theory is because there is soon going to be financial devastation here in he states with bank fails, etc., or my theory is if she loses the election and could be facing jail, she hops a plane and moves permanently to Qatar.

How the hell is the Supreme Court going to get money out of politics? This just another mindless talking point designed to try and sway the low information voter.
