In reply to the discussion: TD Bank freezes 2 personal accounts that had $1.1 million paid into them to support Canadian trucker [View all]gab13by13
(30,934 posts)Democrats like Sheldon Whitehouse have tried to pass the Disclose Act where donors merely have to be open about donating to causes that are intended to destroy democracy. Every Republican votes against it. That is a really bad look too, isn't it? A handful of billionaires can game the system to shut down a big chunk of the economy. If these donors are so righteous, why don't they want anyone to know who they are?
This wasn't a trucker protest. I really feel sorry for a handful of anti-government protesters who aren't getting paid, just like the auto workers and other workers who have real jobs aren't getting paid. The bad look to me is how a couple of anonymous billionaires can shut down the economy.
Who donated the money? Was it from a foreign country? Was it from an American oligarch?
Pass the Disclose Act.
