Restrict Oligarchs and Corporations
As an independent journalist attending a meeting at the American Enterprise Institute featuring Senator Mitch McConnell as a speaker, I had the opportunity to question him. At the same time, the CNN cameras recorded the session.
I asked, the Senator, since corporations are people, why not treat them as individuals such as there being one person. Then, you could restrict their contributions to one dollar per person. All things would be equal. What is wrong with that?
The Senator paused and pondered and replied, “I see what you mean, but that would require new legislation.” I thanked him and said I hope Congress works on that. He said, “I don’t know about the dollar limit.”
