I'm unaware of America's contribution rules, but I think I recall Entertainment Tonight doing election coverage last year, and their 'report' was on how much coin celebrities contributed to Mac's and Obama's campaigns.

The numbers ran in the tens of thousands, so I was under the impression that individuals weren't really limited in their donations. Then again, a quick search says that the maximum donation to candidates is $4,600 bucks.

I'm confused now lol.

Yeah, I see it now. I didn't use the best wording. The limit is a lot higher than I thought, but it still doesn't justify no limit for corporations. They're probably ready to pump millions into serving their own self-interests. Ugh, I hate Obama.


The road I cruise is a bitch now, baby.
