Knox says that people who are wealthy can't be bought. Perhaps not with money (and even that is clearly debatable) but the wealthy always want more. As the Boss said "poor man want to be rich, rich man wants to be king."
What moral superiority exists in Knox buying an election rather than Comcast (his example) buying one. This is nonsense. Knox may have been a successful businessman and he may even be an honorable person. So far he's a flop as a politician.
didn't pay much attention to the previous mayoral election here in Philly, as I was still a student from out of state and didn't focus much on local politics, but from reading this article Knox sounds like a poor choice for any elected position. I am in favor of limiting campaign contributions (esp. from special interest groups and those with state contracts), however, to hear someone say those with money can not be “bought”.... Really? That’s not what I’ve seen in my years on this planet.
i feel campaign contributions should be capped at a certain amount,,but bear in mind,,that there are ways around that too,,contributions could still be gotten from corporations exceding the limit simply by contributing under various names or dummy corp. being able to fund ur own campaign does not make u more honest or automatically give u higher morals. and i totally disagree with Knox's statement "Usually, people who are wealthy can't be bought," when i read that statement i really had to LOL
