Yes. Your political connections should not give you advantages in garnering government money.

  That makes no sense. Wouldn't that be like punishing Theil for supporting a political candidate? This fundamental right should be taken away from ppl who have companies that could apply for govt contracts. Even if assume that this contract was awarded due to corruption. Wouldn't that also mean we have no way to control corruption and hold ppl accountable so we resort to absurd policies like banning ppl from their free speech rights.
