Tax Political Contributions

[DemocracyInaction]

I'm such a genius! Why didn't anyone think of this before!!! Every right wing head would implode. Think if we hit them with a 40% tax on political contributions. Their hands would freeze and refuse to open their wallets because a "tax" is against their true religion (money & greed). Yet, they need to dish out zillions in order to buy the US Congress, the Presidency, local dog catcher and all the rest of this clown of a democracy. I tells ya' this is pure brilliance. The Koch brothers would be going around in circles like dogs trying to find a place to dump.......... I really should be president .........

1. You stole my 15 year old idea

But, you are smart as heck, so, no worries, mate.

What do we do with the tax? Why, we give it to the other candidates in the same race.
Call it Fair and Balanced.

In fact, the tax should be 100% and if there are five candidates, each candidate would get 20%.

2. They'd still have more money than we do.

Just enforce laws limiting contributions with a mandatory 30 year sentence for violations.

Oh, and repeal Citizens United to get there!

3. Between you's and BeFree's idea, this could go a long ways to even the playing field, until

they figure a way to tilt it again.

A 40% tax on political candidates contributions and share the tax among the other candidates, no matter the party.
