Campaign money:
In the U.S.A. many people do think the main cause of the economic decline for the
majority of the population in the U.S.A. and the world and the disappearing middle
class  is "campaign money" or are "campaign donations" or are "campaign
contributions".
Politicians want to get elected and reelected and do need much money for this . Therefore
they spend a large part of their time collecting money called campaign contributions or
campaign money . Who does have so much money and does give that money to them ?
They are big corporations , big banks , big insurance companies and wealthy individuals
and a small part of the whole are trade unions. Trade unions in the U.S. in e.g. the year 2000
do give only one seventh of the campaign money that others do give .
This is done e.g. via PACs (  political action committes ) of the different corporations
to individual  politicians  or as " soft money " to parties .
An individual political candidate is not allowed to receive more than U.S.$ 5000 from one
corporation per election ,  but there are loopholes , so one single company can pay much more
by what is called  bundling . Some executives and employees of this one company all pay
their maximum legal amount , so that one single company in practice can pay much more
to one single political candidate . Even  children aged 6 years have been found to have
donated  the maximum amount as a person , as one person is allowed to donate only the
maximum legal amount , so  the money has to be distributed to different persons to be
donated legally . The above concerns individual political candidates who formally are
allowed only to receive U.S. $ 5000 .
Political parties are allowed to receive an unlimited amount of money . Many people
especially want  to change this . E.g. before the pro big mergers law The Telecommunications
Act of 1996 ( deregulation ) both parties in Congress were paid several times $ 100000 or
more by companies benefiting from the law , the population now has much less choice
because the owners determine what is allowed  in television and radio programs of these
merged television and radio stations (  fewer owners ) . Campaign contributions to
congressional candidates by communications interests from 1987 to 1996 were more
than $ 60.6 million . As happens in the U.S.A. , some media corporations also do have
ownership in nuclear industry ( conglomeration ) , so no negative reporting about
nuclear energy allowed in the media of these corporations . Many observers agree that
especially since the last years almost only owners and advertisers decide what the content
of the big media has to be regardless of the university education of journalists because profit
has to be maximized . Thought of media reform in the U.S.A. is not so frequent yet ,
because change of the media would be difficult .
At least until some years ,  politicans were also paid money by the above donors for fact
finding trips to foreign capitals on other continents and for conferences at sea site resorts or
for lectures they had given , but I think this for some years now is illegal ,
that is money has to be donated directly ,  not for some purpose .
Why do big corporations , big banks , big insurance companies , wealthy individuals and some
trade unions do give this money to politicians and parties ?
Do they give the money for charity ?  Companies do have  to make a profit or they go
bankrupt if they are small , but big companies do get bailouts from the government paid by
the taxpayers . People in the U.S.A. do say companies donate money  for a return of investment ,
i.e. a small part of the expected profits caused by a new law is paid as campaign money to
politicians . The politicans vote for laws which produce much of profit for the donors of
the money and the politicians use the money , donated for the lawmaking in favor of a
company , to get elected or reelected as politicians themselves  .
It is said that in the U.S. in about  96 % of the elections , the politican who use
the most camaign money , gets elected . I think that also has to do with that the
the corporations who pay their favorite candidate so much money , also have , by their
big money for ads in the media , a big influence on the media  which present the
favorite candidate of the corporations in the most favorable light to the media
users , there is also issue advertising ( same opinion advertised as the opinion of the
candidate ) .
The politicans use the donated money for television spots which in the U.S.A. are
extremely expensive and also for consultants on how to do a successful  election campaign .
Voters do not vote for candidates when they have never heard anything about them
before and repetition  ( more on this at affirmations  in part 1 of this website )
makes a choice for a politician a natural choice .
In the U.S.A. there is a so-called transparency of election campaign money , also called
' the politician of glass '  meaning who can be looked through financially. That is all
the money donated has to be publicly documented and can be looked up by every U.S.
citizen . This was done after misuses of  campaign money . In other countries the above
money flow is kept secret , politicians say " We do not want the politician of glass like
in the U.S.A. " and only the IRS ( tax office ) must be informed  . In the U.S.A.  the
money donated to a politician can be looked up and also it can be looked up who
donated that money .
In a book ( part 2 this website )  Cecil Heftel who was a Congressman representing Hawaii
from 1976 to 1986 writes about his own experiences and his ideas about campaign
finance reform and about lobbying reform .
In a book ( part 2 this website )  Charles Lewis and many people of the Center for Public
Integrity show in very details how campaign money is determining which laws are passed
and how these laws influence the population of the U.S.A. in almost every aspect of
their life .
Who  has much money and who donates much money has a strong influence on which
laws are made and passed and enforced .
Only few ( e.g. 4%  ) of  the U.S citizens pay any donation to any politician or party at
all and only  about 9000 people in the U.S:A.are said to pay more than $ 1000 for an
election .
Politicians want to make a career like people in  other professions do and are not more
greedy than others . Big companies want to make a big profit . There is nothing illegal with
it . However the big majority of the population who does not by far has so much money to
pay campaign money has disadvantages in every aspect of life because of it . So there
should be a reform ( democracy ) . But the big question is how to make such a
reform .
There are often discussions in the U.S. Congress on the role of campaign money and how to
reform this campaign money practice . Sometimes the U.S. President and sometimes the
leader of the majority in  Congress are making proposals and then again back off .
Also in September 1999 there was a vote in the House of Congress narrowly in  favor
of campaign finance reform , but the same law was defeated in the Senate in October 1999
so on the federal level for the time being the past practice will be continued .
How can such a problem be solved  ?
Since about 1990 the U.S. Democrats  (  called since then the ' New Democrats ' )  have
like the Republicans before relied solely on campaign contributions to win ( Presidential )
elections and no longer on  labor , women , minorities ( doing what the ones , who
pay most , want , perceived as the only chance to win elections in the future ) .
Public elections should be publicly financed to avoid bribery and corruption .
For U.S. Presidential election there is  a a modest public financing , but not for the primaries
before the Presidential elections where the candidates for the Presidential election are
assessed on how many votes they might get which influences  strongly who will be the final
candidates ; also there is the soft money (  campaign money for the parties ) .
During recent years many U. S. States have passed campaign finance reforms or are in
the process passing campaign finance reform .
Without the present role of campaign money , many things would have happened differently :
law making and law enforcement :
no NAFTA and no bailout of Mexico afterwards , no introduction of regressive taxes instead
of progressive taxes ( meaning big companies and rich individuals some decades ago paid
much more of the taxes of a country ) , and no globalization of the economy , no WTO
(what formerly decided by governments of a country , now decided secretly by
representatives of big corporations , on e.g. health , environment , employment ) ,
no big mergers and not very many other things   (  e.g. book
by  Charles Lewis in part 2 of this website ) .
LEGAL campaign money in the U.S. is often called legal bribery , legalized bribery ,
legal corruption or legalized corruption . Many people do say that both legal and
illegal campaign money  is  bribery and corruption . To avoid this bribery and corruption ,
public elections must be publicly financed . Certainly the big corporations would not
like to pay their campaign money as taxes to the state instead which would use the money
to publicly finance the election campaigns , so there would be no bribery and
corruption effect . Legal and illegal campaign money is  paid only because of the expected
return on  investment which is much higher than the campaign money itself . Political campaigns
must be financed , but to avoid illegal and legal bribery and corruption , public elections
must be publicly financed . Also politicians would not need to spend such a large part of their
time to collect campaign money for the next election.
I do not understand why corporations do keep their big campaign money contributions illegally
secret because of a possible bad impression of bribery and corruption , all is needed are
cooperating media which do not mention the big legal compaign money at all or only
very rarely and inconspicuously on e.g. page 23 of a newspaper in the middle of the page
inconspicuously , so almost no person remembers later on .
In the U.S. the problem of  LEGALl campaign contributions to political parties is a frequent topic
in the media. In Western Europe, e.g. in Germany, LEGAL campaign contributions to political parties
are a big taboo in the media. In Western Euope the mainstream media often report much on
ILLEGAL campaign contributions to political parties. These campaign contributions are ILLEGAL when
they are higher than a certain amount of money and they are not published ( called 'declared' ) in
one newspaper which is read only by very few people. Campaign contributions to political parties
are LEGAL, when they are more than a certain amount of money and published ( declared )  in one
small newspaper or are smaller than that amount of money. It seems to me that these media campaigns
of the ILLEGAL campaign contributions are only there to deflect attention of the public from the
very serious problem of  the LEGAL campaign contribution ( millions of EUROS from big corporations
and big banks and the very rich ) to political parties, which in the U.S. are called LEGAL bribery and
LEGAL corruption. The big problem are  the LEGAL ( not the ILLEGAL ) millions of campaign money
contributions from big corporations, big banks, big financial institutions, billionaires and millionaires to political
parties and politicians. Political elections must be financed by the state from taxpayer money and not by
campaign contributions from big corporations, big banks, big financial institutions, and very rich individuals.
Else politicans make laws and regulations for the big corporations and  very rich individuals to reward the
campaign contributions. This is a constant topic in the U.S. media, but a big taboo in the Western European
media. Two person ( corporate lobbyist and politician ) make an agreement for their advantage and the
disadvantage of a third person not present ( population ). Big corporations have become so powerful
that they always take more money for themselves at the cost of the population.
In the U.S. some members of Congress do  show on their web site all their voting records of  e.g.
the last four years , that is which laws they voted for and which laws they voted against . Why do not
all members of Congress and in other countries  all members of parliaments do publish their voting records
on their website ? That would be much more honest for voters than the public relations ( also called
propaganda ) often wrong promises of what they ( incumbents ) would do when they would be elected .
 

The wrong U.S. President in 2000:
I think concerning the U.S. presidential elections in 2000 , that in any other country of
the world the presidential elections in a state like  Florida would have been repeated
without much thought about it. Why are these defective voting machines regarded as more
important than what the population wants ? Also big numbers of voters with a legal right to
vote were not allowed to vote in this election in Florida. Had these voters been allowed to
vote, the present  U.S. president ( e.g. during the years 2002 and 2003 ) would be a
different U.S. president, because the not allowed voters with a legal right to vote were
mostly African Americans who almost all vote for the Democrativ party. This is the reason
why sometimes one does find the expression "the unelected president".
In any other country of the world, the election in the state of Florida would have been
repeated without the defective machines, i.e. simply with BALLOT PAPERS as being
done for more than a century. Theses ballot papers can be printed in a short time in
almost any country. The U.S. courts do not seem to be independent enough of political
parties (  not enough separation of the executive power from the judicial power ).
As so many politicians from Europe watched the U.S. presidential elections  2000 on
the Internet for imitation in Europe , will  this kind of Florida election also be repeated
in Europe in the future ?

The wrong U.S. President again in 2004?:
It seems that in the 2004 U.S. presidential election there was major fraud, because the owners of the
voting machines ( favoring the Republiacan Party ) had their programmers of the voting machines write
programs that changed a larger part of the votes for the  the Democratic Party into a vote for the Republican
Party.

In the year 2000, I was still using the Microsoft Windows 98 operating system ,
but in the future I intended to use the Linux system , but I have tested some Linux
operating systems and have found that  also in the year 2000 there are compatibility
problems with computer graphic cards ,  system files of the Windows 98
operating system ( also when there are different partitions ) and modems .
Many years ago I did do much shareware testing  and found that some programs
did run only on the computer of the programmer , but not on my computer .
Linux programmers like to program very many new programs , when what
is necessary instead is the making compatible of the Linus operating systems .
There must be beta versions of the Linux operating system before the final version and this
beta versions must be tested all over the world with different computers and
graphic cards and modems  and there must be constant improvement as with
what the Japanese call kaizen .

German TV Fees and GEZ:

GEZ will auch für Computer abkassieren  ( weitere Abzocke per Gesetz ) ,   link 1a ,  link 1b  ,  link 2   ,   link 3   ,   link 4   ,

Why German public broadcasting should be privatized: Else no international competitiveness.
Will lawsuits privatize German 'public' radio until 2007?
Where are the big corporations which want to privatize almost eyerything?

Radio and Television in Germany:
Also in GERMANY now there are many commercial radio and TV stations. Also the former public
radio and TV stations are getting more and more commercial , e.g. before every newscast there are
commercial ads for buying goods of some big corporations , i.e. German public radio/TV and
commercial radio/TV are becoming more and more alike like in the U.S. However in Germany public
radio and TV has to be paid by fees from the population, if they do see and listen to the public radio
and TV stations or not,  in addition to the money the public broadcasting gets from the ads. Fees
have to be paid for the ownership of a radio set and/or for the ownership of a TV set and all this
money is given the public(-commercial)  broadcast companies. Also people who never do listen
to / never watch  public(-commercial) radio and TV have to pay the public(-private) broadcast
stations by fees. The directors of public(-commercial) radio and TV are always thinking how they
can expand ( enlarge )  their programs by new channels , e.g. a new channel for debates from
parliaments or a new channel with only news. They think there is no limit on how much  they can
raise the fees.
In addition because of the federal nature of German public(-commercial) radio there are about
8 public(-commercial) radio companies in the different federal states, with  each company  having
about 5 different radio programs. Many people do consider the federal nature of radio/TV in
Germany a very big waste. Why is there not only one company with some regional
channels?
Now the broadcast directors of public(-private) broadcasting have discovered the
Internet meaning they want to get fees from all Internet users in Germany because
the Internet users could use their programs though most users never do .
No one has thought of creating a password for  radio and TV stations  users who
might only be able to use their broadcasts when they do have a valid password .
Why not pay according to hours listened and watched? Who would pay the high
fees of Internet providers to be entertained by public(-private) TV?
However the broadcast directors do not want passwords for access to their broadcast
programs because they want as much money as they can get . The bigger the
organization of the broadcast directors , the higher the income  they can get . They
have completely forgetten that in addition to the commercial radio and TV and the
public(-commercial) radio and TV there also should  be a third non-commercial
free radio micro radio ( up to 100 watts output each station ) as mentioned above
for which people would like to give donations or fees  to get non-commercial
programs ( like e.g. in the U.S. ) . The thirst for money of the public(-private) broadcasting
is taking money away from companies in the Internet , because fewer people are using
the Internet because of the broadcast fees . The debate is done in a legalistic way  , e.g.
on what the definition of  public broadcasting is like  ( August 2000 ) .
The German law says that public radio is only for the essential radio and TV service
( Grundversorgung ) , but the broadcast directors do not care, i.e. the bigger the more
money is earned.
People who do not spend their time only to be entertained, often do not use radio for
more than a few minutes a day and very rarely do read newspapers which also is a big
waste of time. Books and Internet surfing are much more informative and specific than
radio and TV and newspapers for the general public, but the public(-private)
broadcast directors want the quickest highest profits for themselves and the
population does have the disadvantage.
I think the German public broadcasting should be without commercial ads, be a
much smaller organization, should be a national and not a federal radio/TV company,
be paid publicly by the state and that there should be very many non-commercial ,
free radio, micro radio stations .
I am for public payment of the public broadcasting costs , because now I think - for about 25
years , each year - I and very many other people do get a letter to send a letter back that I am
using only a radio set and no TV set and I keep telling them if I would get a TV set I would
of course according to the German law report it to them, but they keep sending this letter
every year for about 25  years  as if the whole German population were lawless and acted
according to law only if they are carefully controlled .
"You are paying for a radio. Do you also illegally use a TV. And they threaten each year with a
fine, if I would not answer".
They do tell me that there are many people who do not pay the TV fees though they do own a
TV and I keep telling them that nevertheless one cannot use any means to reach a goal , i.e. get
as much money as one can get .

IN THE FUTURE, EVERY PERSON IN GERMANY WHO DOES USE
THE INTERNET ( Analog ) (  SURF , CHAT  ) HAS TO PAY EACH MONTH   17.03 EURO   TO
THE PUBLIC(-COMMERCIAL)  GERMAN TELEVISION COMPANIES. THIS IN
EFFECT IS A HIGH IMPORT TAX FOR GERMANY.  THE EURO MAKES IT EASY
TO COMPARE THE SITUATION WITH  OTHER COUNTRIES.

Radio and Television:
Many people in the U.S. want local  low power NON-commercial FREE RADIO stations
which are cheap to build and have a large audience because the big media giants
( the pro big mergers Telecommunications Act of 1996 ) do no longer have radio programs
for the non-wealthy because the big commercial media have to satisfy their advertisers
who want radio and TV programs only for the wealthy because from them they can earn
the most money .Maybe  the FCC is changing its policy sometime in the future to give
the population what they want .
Formerly there were also labor reports in the big media of the U.S.A. on e.g. the
conditions at the place of work ,  but now no longer . Instead of the labor pages , now
there are additional business pages on e.g. where and how to invest for big investors .
An own experience of the business climate in the U.S. media :
Years ago  being in Europe ,  for many years I did read  U.S. business books and
business magazines and  listened to U.S. business audio tapes . As a result
emotionally but not intellectually I had the feeling and impression that  EVERY  U.S.
citizen  in the U.S.A. was a billionaire or a  millionaire who was always on the
lookout for some additional opportunity to make another million bucks ( dollars ) .
The only exception to this were a few U.S. citizens who were alcoholics and therefore
were not billionaires and millionaires .
There are so many corporate channels , why not have one 24 hours radio and TV LABOR channel
and one 24 hours radio and TV STUDENT channel  and a 24 hours radio and TV CONSUMER channel
for consumers to buy in groups ? In the 1940s in the U.S. there was a radio station "Voice of Labor" .

I heard a story :  A father and his young little son are going from one village to another
village with their donkey . First the father sits on the donkey . The first passerby complains :
" The father sits on the donkey and the poor little son has to walk ."  Then the little son sits
on the donkey and the father walks beside the donkey . The second passerby complains :
" The little son sits on the donkey and the poor father has to walk ." Then both father and
son sit on the donkey . The next passerby complains : " The poor donkey has to carry  a
too heavy weight because both father and son sit on the donkey . " Then both father and
son walk . The next passerby  complains : " These people  own a donkey  but do not
use him for riding ".
