I posted this in the NRA thread yesterday. Libs were so preoccupied w MUH RUSSIA that it took w while for them to pick up on it.

But it’s the right policy. The obama administration leaked donors to Project Veritas so the media could harass them. The government doesn’t need to know donors to private organizations.

I don't really see it as a red/blue issue. It just seems like something that's asking for abuse, especially by foreign entities.

You do realize George Soros, Thomas Steyer, and Donald Sussman contribute far more to liberals than the Koch Brothers ever dreamed? The Koch Brothers aren’t even in the top 10 of wealthiest donors which is how utterly stupid that sounds to continually blame them

Would be nice if they done away with political non profits

I think they should prove citizenship before they can donate.

And have a relatively low cap on how much you can donate

The media once again ignores facts.

Yeah, like show some ID or something.

The law doesn’t require it. If it’s a problem congress should change the law. Would be an interesting legal case...

Damn Mick. Don’t be so racist

No big change here, honestly. The super rich, between individuals and corporations, already control our political system. It's broken.

Clinton Foundation would have went broke with that rule.

Well, technically speaking, The Clinton Foundation isn't a political organization. Technically speaking.

The records still must be kept and available for IRS inspection at any time. So as long as you trust the government all is well.

Well sh1tfire Mick have a upvote on me for that piece of sane logic!

 

[McDad]

[LouderVol]

Lololololol
That’s what I was thinking

Oh, crap!

Agreed. And lets face it, those same super rich control the government and almost every other aspect of our lives as well.
