Or just put a cap on donations and block corporate donations?

I think people have to understand that we've entered a different era. The rich have gotten richer and become insanely powerful and "the game" has gone on for so long all the rules have been slightly bend to allow them to become more rich and powerful. If you continue to "be sensible" and ask if you may nibble around the edges, all you get is fascism. It's inevitable. So first you have to destroy them and their power, then you can reform the system. Reforming the system now, even if you could, won't do anything.

Crowdfund the airfare to El Salvador?

Then stop accepting wealth in your country. You accumulate the capital of the whole world inside your country and then expect them to be there for any other reason than to control the policy there?

Make it make sense

The rich pay what they want while the workers must pay what the rich want.

I honest to God can't imagine how fucking cheap the price for them to make it so that people have to use their paid services... which will make them many, many times more than their bribe ever was.

It would be like if you paid me 1 dollar and I did something that would make you 200 or 300 dollars...

It is funny that it's only an issue in Lemmy that Trump is doing it. Meanwhile the IRS has been stuck doing this for decades because of corporate lobbying from Intuit.

This as much of a regression to about 2023. When America was already behind on tax filing since the 1980s compared to every other country. Even the "shithole" nations Trump hates have had better tax systems for their citizens.
