Should white-collar criminals and corporations involved in crimes be banned from giving campaign donations, donations to political parties, and from forming PACs and voter education groups?
Like when you commit a felony, you aren't allowed to vote anymore.
Would these issues have to be confined to corruption relating to bribes or other campaign/policy issues, or like your being banned from voting for committing a felony, should it apply to any corporate crime?

From an ethical point of view to me corruption is corruption. Not just based on bribes or policy issues. I personally wouldn't trust a political candidate who took donations from say a CEO who destroyed his/her company, stock holders, and the working people, from greed or unethical business practices. So yes my opinion would be they shouldn't be allowed to do it.

yes, but i think that would be a problem because like 1/2 of the campaine contributiors are criminals or under the investigation of. imagine taking half of the money out of politics, the upper crust would be outraged and less rich, but still rich.
