The obvious problem with this is that it only allows the interests of those willing to pay to be represented. Not everyone has the means to financially support a politician or cause. Also, as a permanent resident, don’t even get me started on the fact that I can’t even vote in local elections! I pay the same taxes... More if you count the bloody USCIS fees - how many times do I have to pay $85 for digital fingerprinting?
- protomyth 15y agoYou are only represented today if you pay, this just means that the big troughs are closed and they need to start concentrating on individuals. A couple of years back (90's) the majority of money collected by the Republican party where from donations in the amount of $50 or less (counter-intuitive but that why I remember it). So the small amounts matter. Youtube and social media will probably gain in importances, so even no donors will have a bigger say than they did 20 or 30 years ago. How does permanent resident (married?) work and is there a path to citizenship?
