I tried this on another site and they nuked it so hopefully it stays here because I am curious about others people's POV. I have lived in CT my whole life aside from college days in MASS.
OK in Connecticut we have Linda McMahon who is running for US Senate. The main advertising I hear from her opponent in the last weeks is that she has spent 77 million of her own cash to run for election. The purpose of 'buying her election is to give herself a 7 million dollar tax cut'. First off how does one person in the Senate control taxes? Second if under current IRS law she is able to file and 'save' herself 7 million bucks tell me who wouldn't if in the same position as her and it is legal to file under current federal law?
Funny her opponent slams her for her success in business - she can't be a retard and make the millions her family has. Personally I would rather see business people in office as opposed to career politicians that tend to be out of touch, never had to meet payroll, can't submit a budget etc. She might have some policies that are not in alignment with me or her party but the USA needs politicians to step up, put aside differences and accomplish stuff relevant to the average American so that we leave this country in good shape for future generations.
Not saying she is great but cripes shelling out that kind of dough I think she has as much a right to the senate seat as her opponent. For those that think she will hurt this country there are 99 other Senators she will be working with so it isn't like she will rule the roost and have free reign with our political system. I hope if elected she reaches across the aisle as needed to accomplish things that are in the best interest of AMERICA instead of siding with your political party at the detriment of the citizens you've been elected to represent.
