What's the catch?

Because they know they can finance liberal candidates from public coffers using voter masses in big states (muh democracy)?

And thus shut out non-establishment candidates, or those from smaller states?

"Nothing in this Constitution shall be construed to forbid Congress or the states from imposing reasonable content-neutral limitations on private campaign contributions or independent election expenditures."

 

The Amendment also allows – but does not require – public financing of campaigns when states like Arizona choose to enact such laws. It reads:

 

"Nor shall this Constitution prevent Congress or the states from enacting systems of public campaign financing, including those designed to restrict the influence of private wealth by offsetting campaign spending or independent expenditures with increased public funding."

 

tl;dr - It allows them to create public laws which finance campaigns, while limiting private financing.
