Hillary Clinton, July 29, 2016: we need to appoint Supreme Court justices who will get money out of politics
Associated Press, October 15, 2016: Hillary Clinton has at least twice as many six-figure donors as Donald Trump
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?
Can we make it retroactive to the last 2 presidential elections?
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.
ooops...”here in the states”
Some real ace reporting there.
I’d say the Clintons have wrung as much money out of politics as anyone ever has.
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.
