Billionaires Gagged! Soft Money Restriction for '06
It was a dark day for Billionaires today as the Federal Election Commision voted 4-2 to enact new restrictions on so-called 'soft-money' contributions to political campaigns.
Starting in 2006, any contribution over the paltry sum of 1000 dollars American will require significant disclosures of information. In addition, such contributions will face ridiculous restrictions vis-a-vis the ends to which they may be used.
Naturally, Billionaires for Bush are up in arms against this latest development in the battle for making free speech as expensive as possible. We bought our President fair and square, and we wouldn't dream of allowing his views to be influenced by a group as ignorant and uncouth as the moneyless masses we employ. Therefore, we rest easy in the knowledge that our heroic President will no doubt do his uttermost to rectify this gross injustice after we help purchase a new term for him, and we can be content as well that no member of the FEC will be on the guest list for the most sumptuous soirees of the season.
