re: #321 EPR-radar

A rich guy can send off a contribution to an issues PAC that is more in a single donation than most people can hope to accumulate in an entire lifetime. This same contribution can easily be a completely insignificant fraction of the rich guy’s wealth.

I have a big problem with this scenario.

I can barely accept the existence of such levels of wealth disparity. I totally refuse to accept that these differences in power should be brought to bear on politics without significant restriction.

Yes, we must all remember the poor oppressed lot of the rich person under the previous campaign finance laws, where they had zero influence and we were one step short of the communist utopia.
