Super PACs: Worse to Come

This strange legal superstructure for our campaigns has come about largely because of Supreme Court decisions, especially the Citizens United case, from 2010. And though many people profess horror at the way money is dominating the campaign, it seems clear that, based on the way the Court is heading, we’ll soon look back on the campaign of 2012 and say those were the good old days.

This has become society’s current definition of why “money is at the root of all evil.”

We all know we need reform. The question is how we’ll achieve it. Anyone else zooming ahead to get better educated on our 21st century economics?
