| KungKras said: There are two things that corrupts American politics. The first it that the private sector can donate to politicians. The second is that debates and political ads and the like are privately and not publicly funded. Those combined are a recipe for corruption and disaster. It means that whoever has the most money has the greatest chance of winning, and it means that if you want to win, you have to serve the people or the organizations that can supply you with that money. |
the only thing that corrupts politician is the ability to have control over people lives and abuse said power. nothing to do with where funding comes from. If it was all public funding it would still be abused. The only way to stop it is to have a small government. The best way to have a small government is to give the government no money with which to grow, and abuse.
