People who contribute to Super Pacs who use that wealth to openly lie in their political ads are undermining the American political system. Those contributors represent what is wrong with the political system today. Why are there so many wealthy people willing to support lies instead of having an honest debate. Why has the wealthy stooped that low?
When the tax rates were 90% for the wealthy, the Pacs were no where to be seen. That is a good reason alone to raise the tax rate on the wealthy and see what happens. Maybe they would think twice and discover some courage to stand up and stand with America. The contributors who fund the pacs are the greatest threat to democracy and American itself because their sole purpose is to control the elected officials they support.
The news media abet's the pacs because of their purchasing power. They gladly broadcast the pac's ads when they know the ads are not truthful. There really is no such thing as a watch dog news media when it concerns the public good. The sad fact of all of this is that the voters really have a short memory and only 3 and half years after the second great depression of 2008.
