Actually if you read all the restrictions, you'd realize that the "rich" couldn't buy any politician they couldn't vote for. That makes is much more restrictive. Additionally if you place restrictions on Citizens donating to campaigns, I would consider that a violation of first amendment rights. You are restricting Liberty because you don't like rich people. Interesting value system you have.
Why? I would consider campaign donations a form of 1st Amendment Speech. But First Amendment Speech is protected for CITIZENS and not other legal constructs like Corporations, Unions, and PACs.
Some people consider me "right wing" but that is because I'm for unrestricted LIBERTY. Other people consider me "left wing" for the same reason. I'm for PERSONAL Liberty, not into "group politics" of any sort, as Liberty is always pushed aside for group objectives.
1) Only Citizens capable of voting in an election can contribute to campaigns they are eligible to vote on.
2) PACs cannot donate to Campaigns to ELECTED offices.
3) Corporations cannot donate to Campaigns.
4) Unions cannot donate to Campaigns.
Corporations and Unions can run their own damn campaigns making it clear exactly where the $$ is coming from. Further, Corporations and Unions would be forbidden to form "PACs" for the purposes of obfuscating financing.
But I would also REVOKE all personal donation limits to campaigns, provided that they are from Citizens eligible to vote for those representatives. I'm NOT restricting Corporations or Unions from Political Speech, just making it clear that they have to run their own campaigns for the candidates they want to support, with clear notifications of who is sponsoring the campaigns.
Our Liberties have been watered down and diluted by Corporations and Unions making unrestricted contributions to political parties.
No, it was just Balmer admitting that Microsoft is a WINDOWS company. That is their one product they have, everything else is built around WINDOWS for WINDOWS. Android and iOS must scare the crap out of them, because we're fast approaching the era where Windows only runs on Corporate Computers, everyone else is running Android or iOS.
Which is why, you should find the EULA in the installer package before you install it, modify it any way you wish, and THEN agree to the EULA when it is presented. If a EULA is enforceable at all, then you should be able to modify it before agreeing to it.
I've seen all the videos. I'm not making excuses for the cops beating people up when they shouldn't, nor am I ignoring it. I'll happily compare how OWS has turned out with the Tea Party Protests. While the press was SCOURING for even a HINT of "racism" or whateverism at those events, they have simply ignored the total Fleabagging going on in these OWS "protests".
Why don't you head down to 1600 Penn and protest THERE.
Are you stupid or do you just don't care? I've seen the videos of the "peaceful" OWS protesters shoving police riding motorcycles to the ground and then yelling "Police Brutality" when the cop arrests them.
There is no Constitutionally Protected right to fuck up the environment and crap in the streets, riot and commit vandalism, is there?
OWS protesters don't scare people. What scares people is what OWS protesters are doing to cities. The right to PEACEABLY protest ends right at the time it starts cause harm to the regular citizens and people. You know crapping on the street, raping people, disease and sanitation issues. Not to mention the vandalism and destruction at the hands of the OWS crowd.
And much of what the OWS protesters are protesting, the Tea Party is also protesting against. In fact, if it wasn't for all the other secondary left wing loon ideas out there, you might have had a significant ally to the protests. However they aren't just protesting Wall Street, they are protesting capitalism.
When 95% of the population is educated in public institutions from K through 12, and the result is as he suggested, then the problem might be with Public Education. There is no "mass of educated voters" now, which seems to be his premise.
Or if that wasn't his premise, then please explain to me why he said what he said??
So, what you're saying is that government educated people perpetuate the government class we have today. Sounds like a perfectly reasonable excuse to disband public education as we know it, and replace it with something that produces competition to the government class.

Impossible. Obama would never be able to explain where all the INTERNET donations came from.

That's great. But I still was able to use "on a smart phone" for my patent.
I propose the following:
1) Only Citizens capable of voting in an election can contribute to campaigns they are eligible to vote on.
2) PACs cannot donate to Campaigns to ELECTED offices.
3) Corporations cannot donate to Campaigns.
4) Unions cannot donate to Campaigns.

Their automated program agreed for them. They agreed, they just don't know they did.

Mutual Combatants ... and it does work that way .. sometimes.
Free speech ends at the destruction or property and environment. Or do those things go out the door when it is your side doing the protesting?

If you hit them back, expect that police to arrest you too.
As I said before, protest away. Just stop fucking up our cities in the process. Thanks
I know you are saying you can't help but trash a city in your protests, and you think that is "Constitutionally Protected" .. it isn't.
Are you stupid or do you just don't care? I've seen the videos of the "peaceful" OWS protesters shoving police riding motorcycles to the ground and then yelling "Police Brutality" when the cop arrests them.

So, what you're saying is by screwing with citizens and cities, you're getting back at Wall Street. Gotcha.
So, what you're saying is two wrongs make a right. Gotcha.
Democratic Socialism"? That's why you're doomed to slavery, because you want something for nothing, all socialists do.

So, in your world, two wrongs make a right? If not, then don't make excuses.
