The United States is currently witnessing significant controversies surrounding the ethics of campaign finance and the proposed funding of media outlets with tax dollars. From Joe Biden's utilization of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to fund political campaign signs, to the broader accusation of elites from both political parties manipulating the system, the integrity of U.S. politics is under scrutiny. Additionally, the mayoral candidacy of Farrell has brought to light questionable campaign ethics, further complicating the landscape. Moreover, the proposal by some states to use state tax dollars to support local media outlets has sparked a debate about the role of government in journalism, raising concerns about the independence of the press and the potential for biased reporting.

It's really troubling to see how campaign finance and now the funding of media with tax dollars are turning into major ethical issues in U.S. politics. The idea that taxpayer money could be used to prop up certain political campaigns or media outlets just doesn't sit right with me. It feels like a direct path to government overreach and a serious threat to press independence. We should be pushing for more transparency and less government involvement in these areas, not the other way around.

A revolution is about to swallow U.S. politics, and it’s based on the simplest and most radical theory of power.

Political campaign signs paid with your tax dollars

Cool story Joe, but we all know you aren’t funding anything – you’re charging your trillion-dollar spending spree to taxpayers. As predicted, Biden is using the “Bipartisan Infrastructure Law” as a piggy bank to pay ... tax dollars on campaign ...
