Is it possible to write legislation that requires any donors contributing campaign funds not benefit?


I wondered if it is poosible to pass a legislation bill that requires any candidates accepting funds from a source cannot have bills passed during their term that will benefit or help that donor profit?

In other words, all donors must be donating for the good of our nation and fellow man and cannot benefit by bills passed that promote their own wealth (such as pharmecultical companies donate money to a presidentail campaign and in the past were gurarenteed a very high profit on all AIDS drugs produced that will be paid through ADAP using federal tax money) or business men that do not own any land but can write grants for huge sums of money to not grow crops that could potentially drive down profits if over produced.

I don't see how that would be possible, as people can benefit from just about anything in all sorts of ways.

Also, a bill that helps the whole nation (for example, helps the economy grow) might ultimately lead to higher profits for the donor. Should a donor not be eligible to share in those profits?

Ultimately, people tend to think that what's good for them and their business will benefit the country as a whole. In your example above, the company producing the expensive AIDS drugs may genuinely believe their product is best and it's worth the extra money. And they may well be right.

I think the best and probably only defense against this is transparency. Let's see exactly who donates to whom and exactly who gets the earmarks. Then the voters can make up their own minds.

Think about this logically, There is someone who benefits from every bill. If it's a tax bill are you raising taxes or lowering taxes? If you are lowering taxes what class benefits the most, you are eliminating all of those from contributing to any campiagn.

The only way to logically eliminate the special interests in terms of campiagn financing is to go to a public funding of campaigns. Personally I don't want my tax dollars to go to political campaigns.
