Is it corrupt for government workers to donate to the campaigns of those writing their contracts?

Is it corrupt to allow unlimited donations from the uber-wealthy to those who write their tax laws ?

If so, virtually every one of our politicians is corrupt

Is it fair to say that they can't?

What about a country donating to a charity of an elected official?

You guys should really give this up. I know you never will. But still.

You should give it up...but I know you can't.

Even if I accept what you say as being true, none of that refutes my point.

If a corporation paid a government regulator that would be corruption.

Yes, it is a huge (legal) conflict of interest

I see, so donations from government employees are decisive in these elections?

Public unions are often the largeset donors -by far -in state and local elections

Employee pays Union dues; Union contributes to campaign; Elected official signs labor deal; Repeat.

Uber-rich give huge campaign donations. Elected officials cut their taxes. Repeat.

The intellecutally honest position for you guys here is to argue for outlawing public unions.

I agree with outlawing public unions. (So, by "you guys," you meant whom?...)

The people in this thread arguing that the rights of federal workers should be limited.

What did those governors do that was bad?

We can't outlaw unions and we can't outlaw political contributions.

What if the causal relationship is the other way around?

State elections are not determined by donations from state employees. That is ludicrous.

I wasn’t referring to Walker, but to the extremely powerful union vote in the state.
