Publicly financed elections.

[polar bear]

two things
1. All boats have NOT risen, maybe in your little bubble on FOX news they have, but the real world works more hours for less on a percentage basis.

2. After this last election, how can we stand by and allow our politicians to be purchased by the highest bidder. Yes republicans won, but the dem's took just as much money as their counter parts. Less money would only be a good thing, however it is done

Money is speech so wanting less of it in a campaign is equivalent to wanting less speech in a campaign. I don't think we want less speech in a campaign. What we want is to equalize the amount of speech. A very progressive consumption tax would do just that coupled with making campaign contributions by corporations and people non tax deductible would begin to do that.

and corporations are human beings...I got your point of view loud and clear. Totally disagree with you but at least we know who you get your marching orders from
