1. I wish I could rec this a million times

2. Gun violence is necessary.

Climate change is a myth.
The deficit needs to be fixed - but we can't raise taxes or cut the defense budget.
Health care in America is the best in the world, and if you can't afford it then you don't deserve to have it.
Income disparity is natural & normal.
The middle class is doing fine, as long as you define it as "anyone who get $250k/yr or more".
The poor are lazy, drug-addled criminals who are lucky not to be in prison.
Taxes spent on helping the majority of people is wasted; taxes spent on subsidies for the wealthy are essential.
War is good for business.

And you wonder why campaign finance reform never gets anywhere.

3. Actually, on some of those we can't agree.

But even worse, it's going to be hard to get money out of politics when money controls the politicians.

4. I can agree on this...

... but fix all the other things and the deficit will fix itself. And oh yeah, get the corporations out of government.

5. I'd love to see money "get out of politics," but what does that entail exactly?

Allowing only private individual donations to campaigns?

Put an end to PACs?
