H.R. 1 Passed by House Dems (and only dems)


Mar 9, 2021, 2:51 PM

H.R. 1 has a provision that says for every $300 private donation to a politician's campaign, another $1,200 of taxpayer money will be added to it.

That's right... Welfare for politicians, at our expense.

Gives you an idea of how disgustingly corrupt Pelosi and crew are.

Any Tnet libs care to defend this?

Realized that just after hitting 'post message'. Shoulda been P&R. My bad. Point stands though.

Wow. How can they even vote for this?

This is robbing tax payers. I don’t care who wants to donate to whom but giving away tax dollars bc of a private donation is crazy

Here's what it really says.


Mar 9, 2021, 3:16 PM

H.R. 1 would implement a new fund — paid for by a new surcharge on government fines against corporations — that provides a 6-to-1 public match on individual contributions of $200 or less to a given candidate. To be part of the matching program, candidates could not accept more than $1,000 from a single donor, a smaller figure than the current $2,900 contribution limit.

So a tax on corporations then. Still crooked. Still wrong.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

The fines already exist.


Mar 9, 2021, 3:23 PM

They're just adding a surcharge on the fines that would pay for this.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Right? They already pay WAY too much in taxes.
