But everyone knows where roads paved with good intentions lead. In this case, it's right into the incinerator for the First Amendment. Campaign finance laws operate on the directly contrary assumption that campaigns are so important that speech must be regulated. End public financing of campaigns. It's immoral to force taxpayers to contribute to candidates they do not support.
Public funding is also expensive.
And that doesn't include U.S. Senate races, or the presidential campaign. Public financing also cements political inequities. In a vicious cycle, alternative parties can rarely meet the required vote totals to get funding, which keeps them poor, which keeps them from getting votes. Tie contribution and spending caps to inflation. While Libertarians strive to remove all caps, in the meantime, updating caps for inflation is just common sense.
