[quote=@Vilageidiotx] Well, the concern is that contributions from especially wealthy people creates corruption. If a politician's career is dependent on a few especially wealthy contributors, then those politicians will be under quite a bit of pressure to do what those contributors want despite what the consequences are. This is a problem all across the board - I'm a leftie through and through, but I'm not going to pretend the Dems are somehow not beholden to big money as well. Shit, both main parties are terminally corrupt. So yeh, it is important to care. Just because a person can legally claim something as their property doesn't mean they are relieved of all moral obligations. If you don't believe that, ask the King of France. Or Jefferson Davis for that matter. [/quote] Well yeah, I mean every single one of the Dem candidate's are "One Percenters". I don't believe that having money or using money is morally wrong. Money is amoral. The corruption comes from the heart, not the amount of money that someone has.
