I own a paper, I am the richest man in the world, I make huge political donations, I spend huge amounts on lobbying, and I want a 10 billion dollar defense contract.
talk about money and politics. but I am not a conservative so it is no problem.
CEO’s are evil unless they promote leftist causes.
but all billionaires support Republicans. all of them.
let’s see, a ton of us bitch and complain and scream to take money out of politics and then we all have to endure a ton of posters when they complain that money affects politics.
for the millionth time. told you so.

Aww what a cute strawman. Did you build it yourself or did someone help you?
CEOs are claimed to be evil only in specific context.
The way Bezos runs amazon leaves much to be desired for the quality of life of his employees
I completely agree that money like this should be eleminated from the electoral process.
Yep, causes like behaving ethically, treating your workforce fairly, things like that.
the reference Obama made was about billionaires not CEOs.
I hope this helps you.
Democrats cozying up to Wall Street and the mega rich like Bezos is the ultimate Faustian bargain.

cowboy, read the article, that is why it was linked. then maybe you will make a relevant comment. I doubt it but hope springs eternal.
are you ready to join me and get massive money out of politics?
I am ready to join you for complete transparency in donations and a ban on government spending going to large donors, in other words no corporate donations when your company does business with the government.
that would balance the budget in 10 years.
okay. it took me two seconds to come up with a work around.
have your sister donate the money instead of you or start a shell company in your partner’s name.
now, are you really ready to get huge money out of politics?
I was focusing on getting government out of our economy, at that stage we could focus on social justice. that switch would be from corporate influence to personal influence. unless of course you fear people.
you started this thread about money influencing government. i don’t see a suggestion from you that prevents that.
