Levey's comments touches the very core of what I believe is an American that has lost its way. Leadership in America has become cynical and myopic. Do not say anything that may lose votes. Tom Piane's soul would certain be tried if he had to stomach what we've been subjected to on the political scene in recent years. Not only do these laws allow corporations and unions into the campaign finance system, the laws are riddled with loopholes.
Soft money is only one.
Our elected officials have become political beggers. Public policy is being is being neglected in the never ending pursuit for money. Business is offended by this system of legalized bribery. The financing of a campaign is to educate the voters. It is not to buy influence.
