This is repeated enough all over USMB and here in this thread to deserve a thread of its own.Oh...I agree. That's why I was outraged at the Citizen's United ruling. That's why I want publicly funded elections. Get corporate, union and special interest dollars out of our elections. I would also like to see the Electoral College done away with. Government is involved too much because when our elected officials have no other choice but to take huge donations from huge corporations, it compromises their integrity. Get all of that "legal" money out of politics, and it will be a heck of a lot easier to watchdog against corruption.
I'm grow weary of people complaining about government, but don't seem to ever want to change the rules that are the basis for the problems within government.
EDIT: Not saying you specifically...just speaking in general
