the current tax code was written by goldman sachs executives for fucks sake
shell companies

The fuck is that?
political action committee
And when those are found, as they will be.. That means the end of your career
Like in the UK..
I say just charge everyone a tax figure to live in the US adjusted by your income.
The UK doesn't have rampant lobbying issues like the USA
They have lobbying, but it's public.
Political Action Commitee (translation, high-volume lobbying firm)
Ahh
im fine with lobbying but there shouldnt be money involved
wat
Well money is the only way lobbying can be done really
i should clarify
Would we lobby with vbucks
lobbying is money, the fuck are you on about?
money shouldnt be going to the politicians from companies.
Why not?
if you mean just politically oriented gatherings of like minded people that's already guaranteed by the constitution
if private individuals want to donate up to a certain amount thats all kosher
and if companies want to hire people to go to political gatherings to talk to politicians about why they should and shouldnt do x x and x then honestly thats good too
most politicians dont know fuck all about how most of those companies operate
someone's not familiar with the revolving door
my issue is with revolving door politics and large companies giving large sums of money to to politicians
no i am thats my issue
people shouldnt be hired from one to the other and vice versa
then you understand a fair amount of politicians know exactly how corporations operate because most of them were former employees
also term limits pls
and a lot of them dont; ive been in actual lobbying meetings before
so many of them are clueless about how many firms operate
especially tech firms
sounds like this wasn't in an east coast state
It's funny how people end up in Congress that own stocks in the companies they are in oversight of
it was in Cali
nailed it
i live east coast tho
company has an office in SF
That's what makes America Great though. It allows for us to be in a constant struggle against the corrupt, against the tyrannical.
At the same time I'm torn because of the mysery it makes
