companies should not be able to donate to those running for office. Only individuals should be able to donate and that donation should come only from claimed income.

While I like the idea, in todays political climate I can not see that being the right thing to do. With Washinton and enviros and other special interets demonizing company's to push for laws that alter a business climate based on some political or life stye ideology, it is important that company's be able to lobby and support to protect themselves

The method used and acepted places blame on companies while I feel it is Washington who is to blame. I see no problems with holding them (companies) accountable for their actions and regulated to an extent but, in the end it is only about money and power. And we are not currently holding our law makers to account. For anything!!!
