Just remove all tax deductions for political donations and watch all the money dry up.

Yes, but that is impossible! The money will flow, no matter what!

As a person sure. Do what you want Dont have that business you run as who's writing the check. And definitely dont get any tax benefits because of it
Seriously what is the difference? I’m all for transparency, but I should have freedom to express myself whether through my company or my personal position. In fact, business has way more regulatory and compliance issues. Why shouldn’t a business have a voice?

Yeah I mean I'm fine with that if there isnt any financial benefit on your end via tax write offs. And that the accounting is publicly clear it came from you.
Like I said, ultimate transparency.
And its really not like folks like you. Its for businesses that hide other contributions

Why? What's your reasoning?

No because Dems know all the loopholes for one. Act blue with all the foreign donations laundered in come to mind

Because a business isn't a person. It's an abstraction. Not only that, but it allows people like Elon Musk and George Soros to give as much as they want. I think this distorts policy. I'm a fan of free speech, but I'm an even bigger fan of good government.

Dems know all the loopholes but Republicans don't? Are Republicans stupid or something?

Corporations are taxed much differently than individuals
