My libertarian philosophy agrees with everything you wrote.
They thing that keeps nagging at me is what the billionaire oligarchs do with the extra wealth. You can only own so many mansions and Ferraris and islands. Soon you want to own politicians and direct the how our nation is run. People like Soros, Gates, Zuckerberg, Steyr, Bloomberg, et al, are actively working to undermine our republic.
That is why I have come to believe that after a certain amount of millions in income that the marginal rate should be very high.
Soros has done enough to qualify him as a criminal, many times over. I’d have to look individually to see if the others have gone that far. They may or may not have. That’s somewhat over simplistic, because Soros has clearly done way way way more than anyone else to destroy this nation, AND others.
As for these people’s donations, I lean toward them being unable to provide any more financial support than anyone else. Put a ceiling on it, and make it firm.
A few thousand dollars, what do I care. $10 million, ahh no!
Each citizen should have an equal say.
End PACs today.
As for McCain’s clever ways to circumvent these sorts of laws, shut them down.
Folks, I agree that people should have a first amendment right to support who they want. I don’t think it’s right for individuals, businesses, or special interests to buy favor from candidates.
Don’t play into defeating our tax cut plan to seek revenge on large donors.
One day you and I may be wealthy. Why would you want to tax everyone like that. Do you honestly think government spends that money better than private individuals do?
