To: Valin
I've said it before and I'll say it again...any individual, group or company should be able to give any contribution they choose to any party or candidate they choose. "But", you say, "that leads to selling influence", and you are correct.

Therefore, all donors must remain anonymous. Politicians cannot sell themselves when they do not know who the buyer is. If Soros wants to support socialists with millions, that's his business. If the unions want to back commies, fine. They won't know who to pay off if they get elected!

This will insure that donors are giving because they support the party or candidate's agenda or positions rather than looking for a payoff down the road.

The IRS can receive and distribute the donations, so we won't need a new beaurocracy to do it. They'll be a lot less busy once we take firm control of the senate and institute REAL tax reform.

OK, now; where am I going wrong?
