Because it's "non profit"?
If you check the Wikipedia page on Wages in Europe Turkey has almost reached Moldovan wages...
I would understand that reference if I could point out Moldova on a map...
Lol this was decided by the supream court a long time ago
Donations are free speech
Even by corperations
Which is bullshit
How
Ahh, but what wasn't decided was whether politicians can be limited in what they can *accept*
Capital doesn't have voting rights, people do.
What do you think is worth more?
The time spent of the media talking about you?
Or hard cash?
Time spent
Should we restrict the Young Turks for supporting bernie
Because that is worth more to him than cold hard cash
Should we put a restriction on how much the media talks about politicians?
Just because it can't be dealt with perfectly doesn't mean it should be left alone.
Where does it end?
You can't limit people's speech. But you can limit what federal employees do
Once you start restricting what people can donate too
Can i not give money to the NRA?
Is the NRA a politician?
Corporations aren't people
They support politicians
this wouldn't restrict people giving donations, it would restrict corps.
We're talking about the finances of federal employees
Well according to the supream court of the US
Corperations are protected by 1st admentment
And the hatch act is different
The supreme court is full of shit.
???
Y'all are coming at this from the wrong angle
That is litterally not an argument
@Deleted User Neither is the appeal to authority with SCOTUS
It is what determines what is lawful
That is not an appeal to authority
They're quite literally usurping lawmaking powers. Something that they were never meant to heave. Just because they say something doesn't make it right.
It is telling you what is factually the case
