We could have regular citizens only run for Congress and president. Say if you made to much money you could not run . Say if you took money from special interest you would be put in jail. If you got paid even out of office for special interests you would go to jail. You could not take money for making a decision. No bribes. It also means billionaires could not run or contribute to the people running the government. But the billionaires would never surrender this .
In that statement you state the rich should not be eligible to run for Congress or POTUS. Special interest groups and corporations create PACs, they can use to make campaign contributions. They can give no more than $5,000 to a candidate.
They can also form Super PACs. Super PACs cannot give money directly to candidate campaigns. They must spend their money independently on ads, events, or political messaging. There is no limit here.
You are wrong on so many accounts. I would open the field to be President and Congress virtually to everyone.
In the statement above you contradict yourself about who can run. You said in the first statement I quoted, you said people who made too much money should be ineligible to run.
You have no clue. I am not talking about campaign contributions. I am talking about bribes. You don't even know what corruption is. You probably still think Iraq has weapons of mass destruction. You still don't even know Bush was lying.
Bribes are illegal. To offer a bribe and to accept a bribe is a felony. When caught they should be charged and prosecuted.
Now I'd like to address your statement about Bush lying about Iraq's WMDs. I served in Military Intelligence and I want to clarify that what I'm about to write is unclassified. You can find what I'm about to post online. Trump didn't lie. Iran was Iraq's enemy. In 1980, Saddam launched a full-scale military attack on Iran. In 1982, Iranian troops forced Iraq out of Iran. From 1982 to 1987, it was a war of attrition where attacks on civilians were made and chemical weapons were used. In 1988, both countries agreed to a UN resolution ending the war with a ceasefire.
Saddam was afraid the ceasefire wouldn't last. He was afraid Iran would launch an attack on Iraq. Saddam wanted Iran to believe he still had WMDs. He refused to allow UN inspectors to do their job because he didn't want it found out he didn't have them, in fear Iran would attack. He even deceived his generals by telling them he still had them. All of this made the UN and the US believe he had them.
Saddam confessed all of this to MI interrogators before his execution.
Now back to corruption. There will always be corruption in government just as there will always be crime in this country. There's a saying, "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." It's true in every organization.
Biden’s credibility was marred directly out of the gate by his own mouth when he questioned the integrity of his own election to the senate. But you go right ahead and believe him. He couldn’t have any agenda, could he?
