Now here's my plan: A political donation tax.

For every dollar that an individual or corporate entity donates to a PAC or a political campaign, he/she/it is simultaneously taxed two dollars to be put into a political campaign pool at the same election level (Presidential, Senate, Congressional, state, or local) for the same election entity (Federal, State, Congressional district, etc).

Every registered candidate in the relevant election then gets an equal share of the campaign pool.

Failure to pay the tax at the same time the donation is made will be defined as a tax-evasion crime with jailtime in federal prision, and with a fine of 3 times the amount of the tax on top of the original tax

Our guy Reacher is a super hero. Let's list his super powers:

• Sort of like The Doctor, wherever he goes, there is trouble. Either he is drawn to trouble, or trouble is drawn to him.
• He has an accurate-to-the minute clock in his head.
• He has no internet access, and never seems to spend time in libraries or reading newspapers, yet has up-to-date statistics in his head about the USA.
• He lives on diner food, yet remains fit.
• He is protected by a probability distortion zone where the odds always fall in his favor, where opponents come at him one at a time like in a martial farts movie, and where there are no bullets in the back.
