UK Proposes Government 'Media Watch'

Actually that would make it MORE attractive to be corrupt.

 

No, it wouldn't.

If there is no money in it, and the punishment for being a corrupt traitor so harsh, that no crook would again, certainly not easily, believe that getting into politics = a licence to be corrupt.

It is a high honour, and if they are proven corrupt, try and hang the first few.

 

Red - I guess I don't understand how trying nothing is the solution. We know our current system is completely corrupted, and your response appears to be that it always will be, so we should just leave things as they are.

Two billion dollars is what is would take to fund all federal political campaigns for 4 years, so that is a cost of 500 million a year to the tax payer.

I can give you ten examples off the top of my head, where the quid pro quo of a campaign donation cost the tax payers far in excess of 500 million a year!

 

We already have rules and regulations up the wahzoo and even according to you 'our current system is completely corrupted'....

500 million more than we can afford frankly. We already provide matching funds.

Well...you can ADD 500 million to that with your plan.
