Q post 2398 and the WELFARE INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX In Q post 2398 he mentions a source of funding for politicians  [D] Party Con: When you can't raise money 'organically' through party (individual) donations (voter base) YOU STEAL IT from the American taxpayer and give it back to yourself in the form of campaign contributions.  [Example 1] Planned Parenthood https://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-18-204R📁 $1.5 billion provided in taxpayer funding over 3-year period. [Case 1] PP spent $30 million [disclosed - real estimates close to $65 million] in taxpayer subsidies to influence the outcome of the 2018 midterm elections. [Conclusion] Should it be legal for a taxpayer [D+R+I] funded organization to donate massive amounts of money to the D party in an effort to sway an election?

Q What we are looking at here is the Welfare / NGO equivalent of the Military Industrial Complex in other words, politicians decisions and policies are not being driven by (MIC - genuine National Security) (WIC - genuine Humanitarian need) , but are being driven by LOBBYING DONATIONS which are reconstituted Taxpayer money I'd have personally preferred it had Q used not Planned Parenthood as an example, but a Migrant Processing facility contractor (many of these are Catholic but some are secular) - so that you can see that the Democrats insistence on unlimited migrants is not ideological or only for fresh welfare dependent voters, but the greater the Volume, the bigger the Govt contracts for the NGOs and thus the larger the lobbying kickback Its important to note that under campaign donation laws, charities / NGOs have lighter rules for disclosure This means that money from the Welfare Industrial Complex is more opaque than that from the Military Industrial Complex For example, if the donation goes into a Democrat Fund that is a specific expense account (such as media campaign financing) it doesnt need to be disclosed This also explains to you why Rinos betray the values of their voters - $$$ Edit: Note, too that the recent exponential rise of the WIC  (the MIC has been influential for decades) is a function of Fiscal recklessness resuting from Quantitative Easing as a money - printng response to the Global Financial Crisis
