yes, but that wasn't the original question. -- nm - znufrii Jul 11, 11:35 1
- "is it good for the economy?" "there are better ways to spend the money" -- nm - zork Jul 11, 11:42
but it is coming from donors, not the Govt. -- nm - Beaker Jul 11, 11:35
in fantasy land sure, but in reality that's not the choice. -- nm - loosilu Jul 11, 11:34 6
- This is getting away from the point, but strictly speaking, the TV stations that benefit will be paying taxes on their profits... -- nm - con_carne Jul 11, 11:37 1
  - (or income, rather) -- nm - con_carne Jul 11, 11:37
- sure it is. you can decide to donate to a politician or a hospital fund, etc. -- nm - zork Jul 11, 11:35 3
  - Mr. & Mrs. Wealthy Socialite probably already give to that. -- nm - loosilu Jul 11, 11:37 2
    - Don't forget about corporations. They are able to cut big checks to the RNC and the SuperPACS, if not so much to the Romney campaign itself -- nm - con_carne Jul 11, 11:44
    - so? they can give more there and do not have to give to the politician. Obviously they are giving to the pol's for their personal gain. - zork Jul 11, 11:41
