Politics and business have been part of each other ever since the birth of this nation, and way before that even.
I think limiting the money that corporations can give to politicians was a good idea, in theory and in principle. But in practice, the result was the corporations and politicians becoming more shady about campaign funds and campaign platforms.
If raising that limit can provide more transparency, I think it may be worth it. It may be a compromise in principle, but in practice I think we may be better off.
I never thought of it that way. Maybe it will. I just dislike business and politics being in bed with one another.
Maybe ... I just do not trust business ... or the government to be honest.
