Should corporate money be banned from politics?

Montana has now completely banned corporate spending in political campaigns. Republicans are suing the state to reverse it.

You should only be able to give money in your own name and you should only be able to donate if you are registered to vote. For instance, Amazon is not registered to vote, so they should not be able to donate. Jeff Bezos presumably is so he could donate, but it should be in his own name.

Completely agree. Elections should be publicly funded. Campaign contributions should be limited to something nominal, like 100 bucks, and come 100% from private individuals. Term limits need to be a thing. Acceptance of trips, items of value etc .. from corporations and PACs should be illegal. First Representative or Senator caught acting on an inside stock tip should be drawn and quartered at halftime during the Super Bowl.

We can, but I'm sure they'd go along with it, being that Republicans receive more from corporations and PACs than do Democrats. In this past election, Republicans had a substantial advantage in outside spending. Reporting just before the election found that Republican-aligned outside groups outspent Democratic-aligned groups by nearly $400 million.

If corporations are taxed like an individual they yes they should be able to donate

Y’all are trying to treat the symptom, not the disease.

Yes

You can't ban corporate money before you ban foreign money because money from abroad is flowing 99% to Dems by the tens of millions annually.

I think it should be banned as well but the USSC’s ruling in Citizens United actually means the Montana law is illegal.

Bruh, why you lie? It is as if you think there is no such thing as a search engine.
Link to Opensecrets
According to Opensecrets, an org that tracks who gives what to whom, the biggest corporate donor and 15 of the top 25 corporate donors give to Democrats.

If there are limits I don’t have a problem with that.
What I do have a problem with are PACs getting money from God knows where being able to fund political operations, NGOs and their apparently unlimited funds and govt unions involved in political activities.
But since the people that benefit would be the ones to change this - it will never happen.

I'm full on down to replace every single member of Congress to get this done.
Majority of the population? Nah.
Whats the disease?
Based on what I reckon, its that Congress has become incredibly weak since circa Reagan. Sure they pass a big thing here or there...then they sit on those achievements and make money via various lobbyist groups (more to this but dont want to go down a hole) .
