Has to start with a cap on political contributions and illegal for organizations to contribute to political campaigns. Sports have salary caps for parity. We need parity otherwise the bad guys always win
FEC, but it’s a fair point. If we make it fool proof, you wouldn’t need much auditing and monitoring (and gaming). Cap total contributions at $50MM . No more dark money.
If only it were that easy. We just gotta make it fool-proof.
And anti-trust, who is going to enforce that, if not Big Government? ("You can have concentrated wealth or you can have democracy, but you cannot have both....")
Don't misunderstand me, I understand your suspicion of government. I just don't believe in panaceas. Rather, there are just temporary expedients that have to be scrapped as the sociopaths will find the weak points in all of them, or simply change the rules mid-way.
Who will enforce those laws? And believe me, those laws would be obeyed only if enforced.
