    CRomnibus increases party contribution limits tenfold

    Your Congress heard you during the last election, and they are going to work even harder for you, the average American!

    Congressional leaders have also proposed adding a provision that would increase the amount a person can contribute to a national political party from $32,400 to $324,000. The proposed amendment would also allow a person to give $648,000 in a two-year cycle and a couple could give double that amount in the same period.

    Yes, unless you donate "$648,000 in a two-year cycle", then they might, maybe listen to you.

    But the typical John Q. Public doesn't have that much money to donate.

    Bummer for anyone not cozy with the Fed's printing presses. Nice scheme they have going on. Pass a spending bill that doles out billions to cronies while raising the limits those cronies can "contribute" back to the political powers that gave it to them in the first place. Then use the funds stolen from the taxpayer to buy off the taxpayer. Probably the most blatant example of racketeering right out in the open for all to see.

    "We have set them on the hobby-horse of an idea about the absorption of individuality by the symbolic unit of COLLECTIVISM. They have never yet and they never will have the sense to reflect that this hobby-horse is a manifest violation of the most important law of nature, which has established from the very creation of the world one unit unlike another and precisely for the purpose of instituting individuality."- A Quote From Some Old Book
