Posted on June 7, 2011 at 9:05amFascism has been exposed for a very long time prior to this idiot commenting on what he thinks is appropriate. As in the 1930′s in Germany, it’s called blind indefferance when they came for the Jews. Guss what folks, it’s a repeat performance.

Posted on June 7, 2011 at 9:04amI have no problem with this logic,as long as anyone receiving money in any way shape or form are also excluded from ANY donations. This is to include SS,welfare,food stamps,college loans,grants,medicare,medicaid,paid government employees,their nuclear families,institutes of learning(getting any form of government aid),unions representing these workers absolutely ANYONE that has received any largess from government. This would shrink revenue streams for candidates by exponential amounts and show the American people who actually controls their elections and so their government. The list above is only partial and careful consideration of this precept should logically eliminate 90% of all political donations. I believe this would make America a better place.

Let’s really clean it up, let’s limit ALL campaigns to the money the candidate himself earns with manual labor during his campaign, AT MINIMUM WAGE! LET THEM WASH CARS, WAIT TABLES, DIG DITCHES, (Does anyone still do that these days?), BUILD THINGS WITH THEIR HANDS AND HOLD FLEA MARKETS TO SELL THEM! (At normal market prices.) Then they pay for their own transportation, drive themselves to and from, pump their own gas, etc. Who’d need the expensive TV time, etc., you’re liable to run into your candidate at the gas station, or (I’m sure) somebody will probably post the video’s on U Tube.

That is all these power hungry people are.
People, wake up! As soon as they are done consolidating power they will use that power to start to round up groups of people made up of anyone with wealth independent of the state. They will seize businesses, private practices, homes, accounts and all associated property. They will eventually enslave the small business and professional class and work us to death serving their state.
Remember, treason is whatever the king and his lawyers say it is and if you think the despot we have in the Whitehouse does not see himself like this, then I beg you to explain his actions and those of his supporters.

A few years ago, Reich also said that NO person of faith should EVER be permitted to hold any political or other office in government!
It is no small wonder that progressives loved even major tyrant and dictator of the 20th century. They adored Hitler, Stalin, and Mao. Only when their atrocities were revealed did they then throw them under the bus and try to rewrite their own history. It was from American progressives that Hitler learned propaganda. They loved tyrants because their philosophies and methodologies were the same, not because they were cute.
Reich is one of the most arrogant and unapologetic of these tyrannical progressives!

Posted on June 7, 2011 at 1:56pm@JZS re:@Swampy – JZS, did you not read MY post? I made the same argument as you both, however, I included BOTH parties corruption.
Of course, you probably do not want to see your own hypocrisy, so you conveniently only point to jzs for attacking the republicans alone.
The fact is, BOTH parties are guilty of this.
That is what the TEA party is about. End of corruption. Shrink govt back to original intent. Govt with little power has less corruption. More power = more corruption. We need HONEST men/women in office, not more LAWYERS who spend their time subverting the Constitution, and making campaign calls and arranging ‘quid pro quo’ earmarks for campaign contributions.
I merely point out that it is true for BOTH parties – and, I’m all for ending corporate contributions, BUT, it has to apply across the board. This includes ACORN, GE, Wall Street, Big Oil, AARP, Universities (largest obama donor = University in L.A.)
I propose, ONLY citizens of the U.S.A can donate to a candidate. Donations go thru a govt clearinghouse that is non-partisan. Tracked there. Recipient does NOT get to know who donated. Donation amounts tracked by clearinghouse. Donations limited to $100 per public office per election cycle. This allows almost everybody to have exactly the same ability to influence pols. Billionaire not better than janitor. Most could afford 100.

But in any case, you are suggesting that large companies, even those who main business comes from the government, be allowed to make unlimited political contributions to politicians who will promote their business. That’s a government by and for the rich, rather than a government Of The People, 99% of whom are not rich enough to effect elections outside casting a their single vote.
And we saw from the last administration what happens, It does NOT promote job growth (job growth under Bush was lower than population growth, even before the recession). No, it makes the rich richer, shrinks the middle class and inflates the number of poor.
What I find astonishing is the idea people associate “freedom” with the rich owning more and more of this countries wealth.. You’ve been brainwashed, and are voting against your own and your family’s best interest.

Posted on June 8, 2011 at 12:10amMil Mom, I am inclined to agree. Sometime watch the movie “The Smartest Guys in the Room” about Enron. Big companies, including insurance companies, aren’t your friends. I’m not saying there anything wrong with Capitalism – I’m a proud Capitalist! – but when the love of money, unrestrained by ethics at the top, governs every decision, some people benefit and make their money and the rest of us pay for their greed.
For all of you who think I’m an idiot (and who am I to disagree?) Capitalism is the only economic system that can grow and thrive long term. This is an oversimplification, but on the “left” side of the scale is communism, which assumes that human motivation is mostly altruistic. That’s a false assumption. Communism has always been and will always be a total failure. In Heaven maybe, but not on Earth. The idea that educated liberals are communists is, just… stupid.
On the other end of the scale we could have one company, one person, that owns everything in the United States (something Ayn Rand would love). We breath polluted air, drink toxic water, work for nothing because there was no alternative, and have a government whose sole purpose is to support this ultimate capitalist. And the, according to some we’d be free.
The best solution is somewhere in between those two extremes. If you believe in the “most good for the most people”, you tend to be on the left politically. I can’t speak for anyone else.
