- One bad thing about #tariffs Is small companies have no relief while large companies are able to lobby and get exemptions. This is a good example of why we need to get money out of politics. Huge companies can donate to all candidates, your local small business owner cannot. #endcitizensUnitedMay 5, 2025 21:08
- And I feel you shouldn't be able to give money to candidates from large corporations. Lobbying has to be the biggest form of corruption. Similar to "T-Felon" saying he gives his salary back but charges the taxpayer $3 mill, which goes to him, for golf outings.
- I agree! I'm a state rep in NH, and I received a $250 donation to my campaign (I did not cash it) from Cigna. I sit on the committee that regulates insurance. Everybody incumbent, regardless of party on that committee received a similar check. It's not supporting a candidate, it's simply pay to play
- Yes. I'm unsure how to regulate it since we can't get them to agree on no puchasing of stock or lobbying. It's like they know they are doing it, and it's wrong, but don't care.
- We need to support candidates who run on addressing this. Maybe we need a PAC that focuses on these sorts of issues and supports candidates who promise to work to reform this.we need a long-term vision to overturn citizens united.
- I really think the existing "OG" makes sure any incoming politicians that come in abide by this "secret, not so secret system".
- Well it certainly helps Insiders that have connections. I think we need to all donate money to candidates who make changing this a priority. There's got to be millions of people who agree with our perspective on this. Imagine if they all donated 25 bucks to candidates serious about reform?
