I dunno. Doesn't it seem fair that the job givers who all worked hard for this money get to give it to whomever they want? So much better than having to pay the money to the IRS, that's just robbery.

It's their money and if this is what they want to do with it then it's their business. I know I am not giving anything to any lying politicians!

These are the ones behind the Citizens United decision. Get used to it because these kind of people never lose.
