Kirsten Gillibrand wants to give voters $600 to spend on political campaigns

[Aletheia4u]

ALBANY – Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand unveiled a plan Wednesday to provide each voter a credit of up to $600 to donate to federal political candidates of their choice in their state.

Gillibrand, a Democratic presidential candidate from New York, said her "Democracy Dollars" program is aimed at getting big money out of politics by making politicians less reliant on wealthy donors.

I'm against this tax credit that takes away from federal revenues and directs the dough instead to political candidates. First of all our deficit spending is bad enough and secondly, anybody proposing to make the income tax form any longer needs to be locked away.

But Dubya didn't tell the families that they had to make a payoff to a politician with it.

That was an economic stimulus.

IMHO, we don't need to stimulate the political process, there seems to be more than enough money in it already.

Money is highly overrated in politics. Mrs. Clinton had the largest War Chest in political history, spending a cool Billion on hate ads against Donald J. Trump. Outspent Trump 3 to 1, easily. And that doesn't include all the free coverage she got from the Lame Stream Media.

Still, when the day was done, the old broad was schlonged royally by Trump

Do you think the Great Recession was all W’s fault?

If so, what specific things did the asshole do that caused it?

This is just plain stupid, all it will do is add more money to the political giants and won't keep any big money out of politics, plus it will add to the current debt.

Welfare for politicians and the political class. Stupid idea.
