Major Political Donations = Corruption.

The word is out. Romney's campaign is raising more that Obama is. Word is also out that it may not make a difference. Well true or not, that's not the point. Billionaires and major corporations will point to that statement, however, and claim that opening up unlimited donations on elections won't change the elections. Can you imagine? The fact that a handful of billionaires will drop hundreds of millions, in fact, over a billion on the election and they can then, with a straight face, claim it isn't making a difference. Do you think they're correct in that thinking? If that's true, then why in the world would they do it? It doesn't make sense for a person who has worked hard to become vastly wealthy, to turn around and throw it away on something that he or she can't change. If it makes no difference that you give a hundred million to a candidate who has no chance to win, why would you throw it away? Now if there's a chance he'll win, then there may be reason. It could buy you favors or at least the ear of the candidate once elected. That's the best reason I can think of for making a major donation. If you run a company, like of casino, and the government is investigating you, you might want an administration change. Or if you've got a company making cutting edge batteries, you may want the current administration to stay put for another four years. The real problem is that little people don't get heard as much anymore. Maybe that's what the Supreme Court should look at. Too much money in any operation leads to corruption in that operation. Now I would never suggest that there's any big money floating around Washington. Or Corruption. I'm just saying.
