For instance, in a presidential campaign the first $100,000,000 million a campaign collects is tax exempt. The next $100,000,000 million is taxed at 30%. The next $100,000,000 million is taxed at 60%. The next $100,000,000 is taxed at 90%. Under such a system presidential campaigns would be limited to about $250,000,000 without any restrictions on how much anyone donates.
When a system is as corrupt as ours, we don't need tweaks but an overhaul.
Banning political advertisements is not an overhaul. It is simply censorship. Why shouldn't the Thomas Paine's of the world be allowed to advertise their views? With you in charge he would have been barred from or prosecuted for creating this ad.
