78. Idea for an inclusive Republican approach...
:sarcasm:
Now that they can induct 435 or so members of congress, maybe we could consider subdivision. There are certainly more than 435 major donors, or there would be if they could all have a "piece of the action." One solution would be to subdivide each member, sort of like a vacation time share. Upon reaching a certain donation limit, a "fat cat" wold be given, let's say 1/20th of that donors congressional seat. Strict rules would forbid multiple congressional time shares outside of the district and only one time share to a major donor with in the district. The 20 "stake holders" would be able to appoint one of themselves or go outside the pool and select a designated representative would would operate based on the instructions of the twenty. This would get rid of the notion that we actually elect anyone in a free way, which we don't with the legalized bribery of major campaign donations while, at the same time preserving group rule, "the twenty," as they would be known. I knew some good would come out of this.
