In reply to the discussion: The unconscionable greed of the billionaire class ~ [View all]dreamnightwind
(4,775 posts)43. Thank you, keep preachin' it
I've been kicking around an idea for crowd-sourced funding of politicians that swear off corporate money, in theory there would be enforcement mechanisms (such as no more crowd-sourced money if they took corporate money) to keep them working for us. My theory is that some or even many of them would do the right thing if the system let them. It wouldn't need to wait for a constitutional amendment, either (I am ALL for that, just feel we can't wait for it). See any promise in that approach? Or how do you see us getting the change you so doggedly advocate?

I think it could work, assuming the legality of it. Who knows, the only campaign finance

No, it's not weird. It's natural for good people to want to protect other good people.
