Because Internet fund raising success could well mean the death of public financing, I would like to see a mutual fund composed of only companies that support the investor's favorite candidate. For example, Goldman-Sachs, JPMorgan, the military industrial complex, companies donating to campaigns through
their lobbyists, venture capitalists, the capital acquisition lawsuit industry, etc. See some of these donors in the links below. As well the fund would offer tax deduction/protection such as donating to tax deductible on shore as well foreign organizations supporting U.S. or other candidates.
