Wanna buy a senator? Fine, that'll be a 90% tax on your 50 bazillion donation, and thank you for my granddaughter's health care.

Just a thought.

1. probably not but we should tax them within an inch of their lives on everything
else that we can, transactions, profits, merchandise etc. It is about time democrats started acting like democrats. And with a majority in congress I do not see how they can stop us. unless we let them

3. The 1st thing the Corporations will do is try to deduct the Political Advertising as...
a business expense. The federal and all state tax codes should be amended to tax all Political advertising as a non-deductible profit.
