Education Debate - Rubio Vs. Sanders
|
Quote:Wait, what? Was "Walking/Elected" a typo? What did that even mean? I did not use the term "walking." The 'elected' rulers in Milwaukee are buying the votes of the Bucks fans by spending money on a new arena. Surely even a leftist can see this. The billionaire owner of the Bucks coerced the city and state to pony up for a new arena by threatening to move the team elsewhere. He didn't have to "buy" anyone. So no, I didn't prove your point. Cutting a budget is not buying votes. The corruption you speak of (and there is plenty of other corruption in government) would not be there if the government did not have the power to supply the '1%' with political favors. The problem you describe is the result the excess power the government has taken. This can't be fixed by passing more laws, unless those laws limit the government's power (and fat chance of a politician voting to reduce his power). Banning tax dollars being spent on sports arenas is one example both sides of the political spectrum might agree on, but the politicians won't. Campaign finance laws are not a solution. Lots of campaign finance laws have already been passed by the feds, yet the amount spent on campaigns keeps increasing year after year. There will always be ways around any laws limiting the amount of contributions. "Why should I give information to you when all you want to do is find something wrong with it?" |
