Until we get big business out of government this problem (among others) will never go away. There needs to be a ban on political contributions of any kind for any reason. Political contributions are bribery. No PACs equals no special interests and no high price campaigns. It would be the duty of every news organization to cover the political candidates positions with equanamity and even-handedness. When politics is no longer the sure-fired route to riches and power, then the purely civic minded can come into their own.
What would it be like if our leaders decided what is best for the people as a whole, not what is best for my party, or worse, what is best for those who pay for my re-election campaign?
