February 7 | Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) joins The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell to discuss his End Tax Breaks for Dark Money Act, legislation that would ensure the wealthy cannot avoid taxes while corrupting our political system by applying the same rules for donations of appreciated property to 501(c)(4)s, (5)s, and (6)s as already exist for such donations to 527 political organizations such campaign committees, political action committees, and political parties.

Well i guess that there was little reason to think about term limits until that fatal decision that money is free speach. In my opinion that's an invitation to corruption and lobbying. In Germany we do have term limits: 2 x 6 years up to the age of 68 and we do respect the decisions, although we sometimes don't like them. I think Senator Whitehouse does an excellent job , but you would need a 2/3 majority to change anything ?

​@@elainedaprano9130How do you know? Except for Fox, Newsmax, and tge Republican cult lying about everything good Biden has done with a roaring economy (something Trump could only dream of, his being the worst since Herbert Hoover, who had Congress in session only 3 months not an entire fiscal year! The media are putting down Biden unfairly, he is,a statesman, knows government and foreign policy, and isn't in rapid cognitive declibe like Mr. Trump, and people are beginnibg to see the progress now, all accomplished without 1 Republican vote. This says volumes about the inability of the Republican party to put tge Constitution above the party. Senator Lankford said the oath to the Constitution was paramount, and he is one of the few patriotic Republicans in tge era of tge Trump cukt trying to kill our democratic Constitutional Republic. Mr. Trump is Putin's useful idiot ( evidently now joined by Tucker Carlson), and is not loyal to this country but ratger his handler, Putin and Russia. They have been tge enemy since my childhood, and l am 79. Both older and sharper than Citizen Trump, who is rapidly declining cognitively.

If you don’t show them you’re capable of not voting for them, they don’t have to listen to you. I promise you that. I worked within the Democratic Party.

(And we go around shaming and pointing fingers at other countries' "kangaroo courts.") SCOTUS needs more formal oversight when they violate their own supposed ethics rules. (And, there definitely appears to be violations of U.S. tax law on the part of the justices and their donors!!) SCOTUS has never been good on tax cases...but give me a break: any one of them has heard of cancellation-of-debt income (taxable w/ exceptions) and the requirement of reporting large gifts. Keep at it Senator Whitehouse!!
