Am I the only one who feels like soft money is a way to simply get around the system?

Always has been always will be. Soft money is where the real perks for politicians lie.

Yes, it is just way around the system.

Ok that is good to know that I am not alone in my thinking….

But if this is the case why is it still allowed? Shouldn’t something be done about it?

@SJA813 If you had all the comfy perks given to you upon entering your elected office….would you vote or enact legislation to make sure you never ever get them? At the very best you close one door and open another like they have been doing for a couple hundred years now.

Of course it is.

There is no longer a need for soft money, the Supreme Court says so. The misnamed U.S. Chamber of Commerce has already dumped a billion dollars into the election process using funds that were probably derived from foreign sources. We can’t know because the court declared that they needn’t disclose their contributors. It is very likely that we have seen the end to free and fair elections. The only people that will stand for election are pre-approved by banking and international industry. Any dissenters will be vilified and slandered.
