Except that's exactly how it works in the more civilized countries, don't know about yours though.
Ooh, playing the civilized card, eh?
But seriously, I'll take our expansive speech rights over any other nation's.
Those workers would've collected 100,000 with huge pains, while these guys receive 1 mill, 5 mill, even 10 mill on a whim. If you're failing to see how this doesn't tilt the process, it's only your problem.
I don't see it tilting the process at all. Money doesn't win elections, fortunately.
Transparency is essential in politics, period. The alternative creates corruption. That's not democracy, it's oligarchy.
So should we have to declare our vote publicly too?
