Chapter 705: Shameless
According to federal law, political donations are divided into two types.
The first is individual political donations, which are not subject to oversight.
There are so many people in the Federation, and many are willing to donate to the politicians they support—even if they can’t afford to eat, even if they’re homeless, when it comes time to donate, they’ll give every cent. When the time comes, a sum is automatically transferred from their accounts to certain politicians’ campaign funds.
This is considered one of the three miracles of the Federation—everyone is passionate about politics.
Of course, since there are too many donors, government agencies can’t track every person’s motives or actions after donating.
To minimize the risk of interest transfer through political donations, federal law limits individual annual donations to the equivalent of one month of the local minimum wage.
In other words, under the current Minimum Wage Law, most people can only donate around 240 sols per year. Anything above that is illegal and triggers an investigation.
One person donating 240 doesn’t do much. Everyone thinks so. What can 240 Sol achieve?
Hence, there is a second type: large donations.
