Andrew Yang Policy on CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM

[Sherman A1]

In the wake of the Citizens United ruling, money has flooded our political system like never before. A handful of wealthy individuals can now influence policy as much or more than millions of ordinary Americans. This has led to both increasing distance between policymakers and citizens as well as disenchantment with politics among more and more people. It has also led to policies that increase the record wealth and income inequality in our country, which is as extreme as it has ever been in our history.

"Money has overrun our politics, and that needs to change. Corporations and the wealthy have enough advantages without being able to influence every election by putting up millions of dollars and bending the ear of every candidate and officeholder. We will return to the essence of democracy - where each person’s vote is heard and treated equally. I will gladly overturn Citizens United and return the American government to its people. This would also improve policymaking as leaders can turn toward solutions instead of constantly trying to raise money for their next campaign. Let’s get big money out of politics once and for all—we’ll all be much better off for it. I don’t love calling rich people either, nor does any sane person."

1. 'Corporations are people my friend'

Yeah. And overturning Citizens United will require a constitutional amendment.

[Sherman A1]

5. Certainly they are so now

hopefully at sometime in the future that can be amended.

9. Justice Kennedy was no moderate

CU was a travesty.

2. You Are Like a One Man Wrecking Crew for Yang! Are We Sure You Are Not He?

[Sherman A1]

4. I am simply posting his policies from his website

and will continue to do so until I run through all of them as I believe that they are much more important than the rhetoric, the personalities or the latest soundbite from CNN/MSNBC.

You should feel free to do so for your preferred candidate and then we can make comparisons and have a discussion on the policies and agendas.

12. No Problem--He Has a Lot of Good Ideas/Qualities. He Should Pay You!

3. I'll bet he smokes grass too. Sigh. Nt

[Sherman A1]

6. No idea on that

7. I imagine Andrew Yang sitting at his desk

Furiously typing on his laptop producing a policy a day. It seems this guy has a policy for everything.

[Sherman A1]

8. It is obvious that he has done some considerable thinking on the issues

facing the country and the people if that's what you mean?

[drray23]

10. It's good that he is thinking on the issues for sure

Not sure however. How much traction this will get him.
Hillary had a website full of policies and yet Trump who had zero beat her( cheated).

[Sherman A1]

11. I would rather have someone who has put some thought into this rather

than someone who hasn't and is just developing things on the fly. Time will tell who becomes the candidate for the general election and who wins in November of 2020.
