This AMA is fucking awesome.

Why do you think dogs would be better?

OH SNAP

You got something else to say about HeroRATS, bro?!

If you and 499 of your friends want to group together to make that movie, you can form a political committee and keep financial records of the amount of donations you take in from your 499 friends.

If you're that insanely rich dude, you can just form a Super PAC and donate however much you want without any limitation or need to report your donations.

Even disregarding Super PACs, the CU allows for an unfair amount of power to go to corporations rather than individuals.

In actual fact, the argument you're making is exactly the opposite of the reality of what CU has done. It has allowed corporations with vast sums of money to effectively drown out the voice of individuals or even groups of individuals who form a committee. If you took away CU, the people who run those corporations still have every right to personally contribute just the same as everyone else, but they would be subjected to the same limitations as everyone else.

If you don't believe that, look at what Sheldon Adelson has been able to do since CU. He was able to donate an estimated $150m in 2012. That's completely insane. It is pure electioneering by one incredibly rich man.

Those minds that would be closed off by one word aren't really open to change to begin with.

This is a really lame answer for an AMA that's supposed to be thanking the people who helped your business. Either you haven't actually considered other avenues or why you're even going this route (which is really unintelligent from a business perspective, especially considering who you are getting in bed with) or you're being unnecessarily obtuse about your decisions, in which case, why even do an AMA?

I get that it was supposed to be a joke, but a little elaboration would be nice when answering a serious question that a lot of people would like an answer to.
