Censured by the House Ethics Committee three times. Rated the most corrupt person in Congress.

Where do I apply for that job mailing things?

Almost as good as getting 1/4 million to talk to people for an hour or two.

Start doing ANYTHING that people wanna pay you to do. CAPITALISM BABY!!!

Trump's kids eat, live and travel for free on the TAXPAYER'S dime running their businesses.

Maxine Waters pays her daughter via PERSONAL money contributions.
Citizens United opened the floodgates for campaign contributions. Blame the GOP for that piece of work.

Not quite correct.

While they are reimbursed for travel for which they pay for, which all presidential advisors are, they do not collect a salary/stipend, which most advisors are eligible for. Even Trump doesn't keep his salary, he donates it to charities.

Since they don't live in the WH, they do not live or eat on the taxpayers' dime, they pay their own living expenses just like all members of the President's staff does.

The other part that is incorrect is the Citizens United quip. The ruling stated that corporations and unions could use their first amendment right and their money to advertise a political view. They CAN NOT donate money to a candidate or political party directly nor can they mention a specific candidate in their advertising. I think it was a bad ruling, but it is what it is.

So the money that Maxine pays her daughter comes from donations directly to her campaign from the average person, not corporations or unions. I think $750k/yr. is a gross misuse of funds, it is immoral and unethical. That, however, is just my opinion.

But Obama cost us a ton, right?

And yes- CU opened the floodgates for unlimited contributions to influence politicians.
Get big money out of politics. Get rid of lobbyists while you're at it.

"But court decisions, most famously Citizens United, created new types of PACs that are allowed to spend unlimited amounts from unrestricted sources so long as the spending is independent of candidates or parties. That doesn’t tell the full story of the increased importance of “outside spending” since the courts opened the system in 2010, however.

There are other groups now free to spend unrestricted funds advocating the election or defeat of candidates. These groups contend that they are not required to register with the FEC as any sort of PAC because their primary purpose is something other than electoral politics. This spending itself isn’t new. But the use of funds from a virtually unrestricted range of sources, including corporations, began with the most recent court rulings."

You keep trying to divert. I am not arguing about CU - I think it was a poor ruling. However, what Maxine Waters is doing has nothing to do with CU. She is just corrupt and a typical Democrat hypocrite.
