Political Crossfire Forums

Indy you are still operating under the assumption that the electorate would behave any differently if the source of the money was disclosed. They wouldn't. They'd still fall for stupid bullshit talking points printed on glossy paper or blasted over the airwaves. I do think it would be preferable for the money to be better disclosed but it's not really going to make a difference until the public decides to actually engage on their own accord.

It seems campaign finance regulation is a supreme tale of in intended consequences. The more we try to reform, the more unaccountable and untraceable the money becomes.

Society doesn't exist within a vacuum. A lot of history contributed to the system we have today.
