Trump sort of did that in the debate by saying, he donates so that if he needs them in the future, they will return his calls.

Yes, but the reality is actually worse than that. Company leaders feel compelled to donate so the pols won’t come after their business interests in some way.

Donating money is perfectly legal, a form of free speech. And those politicians that return the calls from their donor are just doing to ensure that they get proper funding. All this talk about money and politics is just typical class warfare.

You don’t have homeless parasites having the clout. That is not “fair”, but they don’t contribute to society either. The billionaires and the millionaires employ the majority of the people. They are just utilizing/investing their wealth properly.
