write Legislation in favor of Corporate Interests is not enough money being spent. Corporations need to be able to spend more. Free Speech or no, Corporations get pretty much what they want legislatively.

1. Couldn't we make the corporations list every cent they give AND |
|
credit it directly to the individual. Then embarrass the congress in to passing a law where ever single cent of that donation is added to THEM and their accountable income. Then they would have to pay taxes on that amount. No deductions, nothing deducted for this or that. They would have to pay income tax on every single solitary cent ADDED to their regular income.
So this would make them so tax heavy they wouldn't be able to accept. And there should also be a way that the IRS can tax the corporations for the money they spend in ads for the re-election of the individual of their choice.
Remember the couldn't get Al Capone any other way than thru INCOME TAX INVASION...Raise such a fuss this happens to the corporations and their senator or representative of choice. Do you think this is a good idea.
