Direct Plutocracy

[kaulis]

How about we get rid of voting altogether and decide each ballot issue by direct donation of dollars to the governing body for.

(Admittedly, that's just snide.)

Representative government depresses me. Autarchies may not be in vogue, but they do a better job of achieving their ideals than many other forms.

I'm suddenly reminded of Angus and Ivan's campaigns to get the new dorm named after themselves....

I've read some posts from people who have the notion that the overturning of McCain-Feingold is a good thing.

I'm guessing they are thinking, "yay, Fox can directly donate" or whatever company they believe has their best interests at heart. I don't have the heart to tell them, "Yeah, but so can Soros Fund Management, Microsoft, Google, ..., and all of those other liberal-run companies that you hate."

Such short-sightedness astounds me.
