I don't see money in politics as being as dangerous as limiting free speech or compelling private citizens to freely give their product away to politicians.
Like I said earlier, money is the force in politics. You can't deny it and if freely given with no strings attached, money is not a problem. In fact, it is a positive --- i.e. people getting involved by putting their money where their mouth is. I would like to see the system changed to encourage millions of smaller contributions to off-set the power that a handful of wealthy donors now have, all with strings attached. That is why I propose a straight tax credit for small contributions.
