I keep getting stuck on this point as well. One possible idea I keep coming back to: What about limiting campaign contributions to $1 per person/entity? I am guessing there would be quite a bit of backlash against this idea (Besides pols and lobbyists themselves, doesn't media get a lot of advertising dollars from campaigns?) but maybe if we can devalue the process significantly, it won't be quite so one-sided/game-able?
- jokermatt999 16y agoWouldn't that just effectively hand lobbying power to the huge corporations? How would that change anything?
- raintrees 16y agoSorry, I didn't check back to see that anyone had posted... Just in case you see this, my idea was to limit ALL contributions to $1 per entity - person, corporation, whatever. Hmmm... So if a corporation had/forced all employees to offer up their dollar to a specific candidate, looks like you are right - It could/would still be gamed... sigh.
