[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure if this would be constitutional (although, really, are we even following the Constitution anymore?) but Democrats should propose and run on a progressive excise tax on political and dark money contributions. I suggest a schedule as such: 0% up to $2,500 100% from $2,500-10,000 500% from $10,000 to $1 million 1,000% $1 million and above. That would solve a lot of problems with money in politics and help reduce the deficit. [/quote] Democrats would never go for that.[/quote] And neither would Republicans in Congress. There is little hope of reducing the influence of money in politics as long as the GOP and Dem Parties are in complete control of Congress. Everyone wins with our current campaign finance protocols except for the regular people that aren't politicians or ultra wealthy mega donors.[/quote]
