This is also wrong.

My simple campaign finance reform proposal:

- campaigns must not accept money from anyone who is not a registered voter

- businesses found to be donating to both sides of the same race, or different parties at the same time, to be convicted of bribery

I don't see why businesses should be allowed to make political donations at all.

They're completely composed of citizens. Citizens can make political donations, because citizens vote. Businesses do not.
