| Mr Khan said: Then how would one address the clear problems that stem from these corporations being able to buy candidates? It'd be much easier to simply ban all campaign donations rather than the vast legal quagmire that would be needed to make it such that it's not worth it for corporations to buy candidates |
By voters making informed choices, like voting out politicians who support corporate welfare. Not by abridging the First Amendment.
The idea that all campaigns should be publicly funded is a pretty egregious flouting of free speech principles as well. No one should be forced to promote candidates or ideas with which they disagree, especially not at the cost of being able to support the candidate of their choosing (no-hopers like Nader and his ilk, who certainly wouldn't qualify).
