It's still a choice.

TB — 5/5/2009 8:44:53 PM (archived)

I didn't have a choice when I left college. Had to get the first full-time job I could land, and it didn't have jack to do with my degree.

        Yes. I know that I exaggerated, but I was using poetic license. - David F Mayer - 5/5/2009 4:55:48 AM

- One more proof of the need for a TOTAL ban on all campaign contributions. (n/t) - David F Mayer - 5/4/2009 1:01:27 AM
  - Then who pays for elections? - TB - 5/4/2009 2:48:00 AM
    - Nobody. Elections will have strict limits of $10,000 for Congress & $100,000 for President paid out of CANDIDATE's own pocket. - David F Mayer - 5/4/2009 3:21:14 AM
      - British election funding - TB - 5/4/2009 2:49:05 PM
        
        That is why I prefer NO contributions whatsoever. That cuts of the head of the hydra. (n/t) - David F Mayer - 5/4/2009 5:22:46 PM
      - And who puts the money into the candidate's own pocket? - Mary Anne - 5/4/2009 11:22:58 AM
        
        Himself. Another part of my reforms is that nobody can give any candidate or official - David F Mayer - 5/4/2009 5:24:56 PM
        
        So only the extraordinarily wealthy will ever hold office. - Mary Anne - 5/5/2009 12:27:05 AM
        
        WRONG! A $10,000 limit for Congress would not limit candidacy to the rich. - David F Mayer - 5/5/2009 3:13:17 AM
        
        Heh. - Mary Anne - 5/5/2009 1:21:00 PM

        Plutocracy squared. - TB - 5/4/2009 5:32:59 PM
        
        Not with a $10,000 dollar limit. (n/t) - David F Mayer - 5/5/2009 3:13:57 AM
        
        Why not make it a five dollar limit? - TB - 5/5/2009 3:48:20 AM
        
        I want some modest expenses permitted. Basically, we are back - David F Mayer - 5/5/2009 4:35:55 AM
