now earlier in the show we talk about campaign finance reform
here's my proposal for campaign finance reform
public financing of elections one
because people work for the folks who ada
right now our politicians are paid by the lobbyists
so they work for that maha dot mine binds votes advise as you see on your t_v_ sets
advice campaign staffers and pull test of talking points
nailers and the list goes on and on
these are all the things that are meant to deceive you
the reality is that people in corporations are not spending all that money on lobbyists
than politics cuz they have your best interest than mine is 'cause they want to return on
their investment they spend that money to make more money for themselves
some people complain that if we do public financing of elections the taxpayers to pay
for the politicians' campaigns yes that's true
but we pay for it anyway right now we just passed felt a lot more it all the favors those
politicians do for their campaign contributors i'd rather spend a few million getting a clean
election they spend billions of taxpayer money so a politician to return favors for his donors
they should not be a conservative or liberal issue
why would concern is what their politicians want
anymore the liberals do were all sick of it
change in and since that is what they have so many people decided about two thousand
a day
the best also want to keep party folks want to do their eighty washington charge
who should the united on this was that i want a country where we go back to having honest
debate about pro-life or pro-choice or all other issues of principle
right now you can tell who's gonna win on any given issue not by the principals involved
or even the public polling even tell by where the money it's for example to serve as a the
brady to but you know whose idea match not because most of the country's only few that's
kind of a split issue
you're gonna lose because just slightly more money on the gay rights dot
that's not how we should settle important issues
but the latch larger palms or things like national defense where we buy weapons systems
not based on whether we need them or can afford them
but based on which politicians garden reese and where the factories located
we waste trillions of dollars like this timing dot to the most powerful lobbies the banks
faced such so much money out of the system that we had one of the largest economic crashes
old all-time and they're not even gone yet
let me ask you this final question
do you think all these corporations and rich folks were spending money on politics as is
not good for business
no bodies and they think it's a great investment for them
nothing brings you better return them by a united states politician option do you think
it might also be a good investment for us to keep our politicians queen and worrying
for us and sort of their donors
i may be the best investment week ever made
but that's it for our show today
and next is still a renegade easy continue to follow the story the repair of the miners'
being rescued of course number twenty two is coming up in minutes also be doing a read
