Union dues should be addressed differently. And it is just as wrong to limit my contribution to 2000 bucks as it was to 1000 bucks. The principle is the same. It isn't the governments business who I support politically. The funny thing is that these laws still limit people like me while the Soros's, Fonda's, Turner's and Rockefeller's of the world can spend money without limit through their tax exempt front organizations.
You seem reasonable. Do you really think that this law would limit them or me most?
If you want to give as much as Soros you can, but it will not be going to the candidate, it will be going to an organization that pays a staff and overhead with your donations and no guarantee who they will support.
Limitations on individual donations that go directly to the candidate is a reasonable as far as I'm concerned. I don't need Bill Gates or George Soros manipulating elections by directly funding their choice for a candidate.
If George Soros had his choice, he would like to see Noam Chomsky or Ramsey Clark as the POTUS
