The point is that Americans (me included) are going to put very little trust in a system which allows you to literally buy votes. Everyone should have the same amount of votes no matter the wealth and I don't see myself compromising on that issue.
- barrkel 9y agoThe system where you buy votes is the current system, mind. Somewhat true for elections of political representatives, but even more true for things like Senate Committees - these require party membership fees that get paid, which come via donations from lobbyists. Not party political, both sides do it: http://www.definingthemachine.com/party_dues.html http://www.definingthemachine.com/party_dues.html
- acjohnson55 9y agoBut do you feel any better about the idea of being compensated for not getting your preference?
- frgtpsswrdlame 9y agoNot really. It seems sort of like selling some of my political power to the wealthy.
