I guess i never understand why people think the solution to something having too much influence due to money is to become more dependent on their money. I can see no magic way to accomplish this without an increase in influence from that payer, and to think you can seems ... pretty pie-in-the-sky.
The real solution is to diversify where your money comes from, at pretty much any cost.
- jsprogrammer 11y agoBy "one payer" you mean the thousands of people on hundreds of acres in Cupertino?
- shwouchk 11y ago(I'm not addressing the article at all, just your logic): By that logic, the simplest way to get rid of the dependence is to decrease their tax to 0%...
- DannyBee 11y agoYes, or increase the amount you get from others. If you don't need them, and they aren't providing anything for you, they have less influence on you. The way you be less dependent on people is ... to be less dependent on them. Not by being more dependent and trying to set up magic firewalls or whatever.
