Recently at public events, my opponent in this Governors race here in Az. Has been trying to defend his position on using taxpayers money to fund or in my opinion buy an election. Lets just look at some facts, and you decide.
Using Taxpayer money to support any politician makes no sense. The Clean elections proponents argue that this money does not come from the general revenues. Does it matter where the money comes from? Does it matter to the poor fella footing the bill, better yet does he have any say as to which candidate his money goes to,. Sort of like ” the union card check ” situation . And it is a tax no matter where it comes from . The simplistic “sin” tax argument treats us like we are juvies too young to figure out this political scheme. ($700,000.00) for the Primary and $1Million plus for the general.
Where does the Arizona Clean Elections Commission get their funding? “Remember now Arizona is 2.5 million in the hole and they are still digging the hole.
First , there is a 10% surcharge on all civil penalties and criminal fines.
Second , there is a voluntary $5.00 check-off on Arizona state income tax forms.
Third, Voluntary dollar for dollar tax credit on donations of up to $640. or 20% state income tax amount which ever is greater. Now I ask you why would you give this money to the state, when you could give it directly to the candidate that you want in office,.. Seems slightly silly.
Fourth, Civil penalties paid by candidates,. this has got to be a money maker.
and Fifth $5.00 qualifying contributions collected from participating candidates.
Here’s a question, has anyone ever done a audit on this program???
2010 Calender Year Funding Projections
First , Court Assessments (53%) , I thought the court system was broke
Second,Tax Check -off /Tax Credit (47%)
Third , $5.00 qualifying contribution (.05%)
Fourth, Other including Commission Assessments, .05,,,other always bothers me.
Here are some facts.
First, Clean Election candidates favor larger government expenditures.
Second, Clean Elections candidates statistically represent the two major parties,. Bingo!!
Third, Ballot status of all third parties is jeopardized by Clean Elections.
Fourth, Government exerts direct control over the context and content of participating candidates. A participating candidate has taken government money and agreed to an election contract.
Fifth, Unelected government bureaucrats have removed electied representatives from office for accounting mistakes.
Sixth, Clean Election Commissions have tried to enforce rules on non participating candidates including additional subsidies to participating candidates.
Bottom line , any time you take government money , for what ever the reason , there are strings attached , as their should be.
It is true the voters voted for this program, they also voted for Janet Napalitano,. Look what it got them .
The real point is this,. First Arizona is broke, even my opponent admits to that. So the question that remains is this. “If you say your a Conservative , are you really a conservative if you use collected taxes to buy a campaign. Are you a Conservative until Conservatisim gets in the way of running for political office. Just asking?
Lets do all of Arizona a favor, lets give the money in the Clean Election Account to Dean Martin and tell him to pay down the Arizona state debt.
