Why political donations are vital for democracy : Comments

By Graham Young, published 18/9/2014

Democracy guarantees us all the right to participate to the best of our ability. If our ability is making money, then it would be anti-democratic to stop us from contributing that.

'The canetoad who is our current Prime Minister couldn't wait to send the troops off on their bloody mission in the Middle East. He got plenty of television grabs and people seem to have forgotten the farce called the budget.

don't judge everyone by your own warped standards David G. Not everyone is as sick as u think.

Hasbeen,

"Wow Graham, I did not realise you were suicidal. To post this article here I can only assume you are. The attacks have been much as I expected.

I'm a fence sitter on this one. I can see both sides of the question too well to have a preferred position."

For anyone who's interested, here's the debate:

Money Is The Root Of All Evil? Have you heard the saying that: every man has his price?
David G,
People who want money badly are the root of much evil, the rest are insipid religious morons.
Every man must have a price if he wants to be of some value.

our current Prime Minister couldn't wait to send the troops off on their bloody mission in the Middle East.
What is your alternative ? wait till the Middle eastern evil gets a greater foothold in Australia than it already has thanks to the likes of you ? You don't sound like someone who'd have the Gonads to stand up for anyone. You are part of the enemy from within.

Put me in office, give me regular 'donations', pay for my house and renovations, buy me a car and give me tickets to the footy and cricket, plus not to mention all the shows and first class seats.

Kiss my butt and I'll introduce legislation that will benefit you.

Not every politician would be so up front.

Wonder if this how google, apple et al get away without paying tax?
