Well, stand in line.
You don't think Billary is honest and trustworthy, so at least there's that in your favor.
As long as corporations are people and money is free speech, politicians will say what ever they need to to get elected, and then serve those that paid them, so in that context I don't believe anyone running for office.
You're Ok with Union money?
I said corporations because they have the most collective monetary resources to stuff politicians PAC funds.
And this is the root of voter disapproval ratings, candidates saying what the voters want to hear, then serving their real masters when elected.
We need election reform that would eliminate special interests influence in our election process.
So then, you're ok with Union political donations?
Mr. Reid may be interested to know the following: The top campaign donor of the last 25 years is ActBlue, an online political-action committee dedicated to raising funds for Democrats. ActBlue’s political contributions, which total close to $100 million, are even more impressive when one realizes that it was only launched in 2004. That’s $100 million in ten years. Fourteen labor unions were among the top 25 political campaign contributors. Three public-sector unions were among the 14 labor groups: the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees; the National Education Association; and the American Federation of Teachers. Their combined contributions amount to $150 million, or 15 percent of the top 25’s approximately $1 billion in donations since 1989. Public- and private-sector unions contributed 55.6 percent — $552 million — of the top 25’s contributions. Large private companies contributed $441 million in campaign contributions. Among them were banks and insurance firms such as JPMorgan Chase, trade associations such as the National Association of Realtors and the American Medical Association, and technology and telecommunications companies such as AT&T and Microsoft.
