Short story on Citizen United ruling.

HRC tweet

Nine years since Citizens United, the amount of money in politics hasn't changed dramatically. But who funds politics has: "a handful of donors who make multimillion dollar contributions." The result: disastrous laws like Trump's tax giveaway to the rich.

 

While I do not agree with HRC on the tax giveway - there is some issue here with unlimited funds from Non Profits and Super PACs.

This is how all the illegal money is funneled into influencing our politicians.

 

Bottom line: they do not work for us they work for whomever funds their Super PACs.

Nancy Pelosi's Super Pac

http://www.thehousemajoritypac.com/

 

In 2018 House Majority PAC was focused on winning back the House for Democrats. HMP along with the group’s C4 ally spent approximately $113 million to help elect this Democratic majority by making sure voters knew about the toxic GOP agenda, which hurt hardworking families – increasing health care costs and raising taxes on the middle class. HMP also played a critical role to help coordinate with a number of outside groups to strategically invest over $220 million in crucial races from coast to coast. These efforts allowed Democrats to outspend its Republican counterparts in key races from Labor Day until Election Day.

 

$220m+$113m = $333 million on 2018 election cycle.
