Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz is on a mission to fix Washington and he is starting with campaign donations. Schultz, who spends more on employee health benefits than coffee, is challenging his fellow CEOs to put money that normally goes to campaigns into job creation.
On this blog, we have been saying that for years. In Georgia, the only congressional districts with a real contests next year will be the newly created district in North Georgia and the reconfigured 12th in the Augusta area. I say the rest of the incumbents are safe and should spend time finding solutions rather than dialing for dollars. Oh, when someone gives you dollars, you can best believe they will want something for it later.
Congressional candidates should consider voluntarily limiting their warchests to say 200K because an outstanding legislator doesn’t need to scary off opponents with big money. If and when I see them with big money, my first question is where did they get it.
Schultz, like Donald Trump, is sounding the alarm on the fact that America does make things anymore and that is the reason for low job numbers. The guy makes some great points. He is to the Middle what the Tea Party is to the Right and that is a good thing.
