Corruption plays a part by the seller and the buyer of votes. The true remedy is diverse, localized and weak government with little ability to fund itself.
When we allow government broad powers, the ability to centralize and be remote, the ability to self fund by using its own legislative functionaries to vote theft, we have what we have seen arise the last 80 years — Leviathan.
It is now so large, it is self-healing, self-innoculating, and delegitimizes every effort to de-fang it.
Not necessarily. "seller"? "buyer"? A person donates to a campaign. So what? There is no corruption unless the congressman votes differently based on the donation. How do you prove that? Assuming you can prove that you might have a case against the candidate but not the person donating to a campaign.
If it just takes money to make RINOs vote the way we want then just get some rich conservatives to buy them off. Never happen. They vote the way they do because they ARE RINOs and vote like RINOs. Same with dems. Dems steal your money to buy poor people's votes. Rich conservatives could donate all the money you want to those dems and it won't change how they vote.
hear. hear. I agree with that!
