You are looking at this with Shirley Temple simplicity. Idealistically, you make it sound noble, but when human nature gets a hold on it, it is open to corruption.
That is where the real problem lies. The Supper PAC system may work if there were fail safe mechanisms in place that would set ethics rules and limitations in place, but as they stand now, they are ripe for dishonest intentions.
I am not looking at this with Shirley Temple simplicity at all. Quite the opposite.
You are making a few miscalculations here IMO. While you correctly state that Super PACs were formed to get around CFR - you act like that’s a problem - which means that CFR was a good thing if only it had succeeded.
CFR was evil and naive in its attempt. The notion that you can separate power from money is simply laughable. It’s never been done in world history.
You also incorrectly state that CFR and Super PACS are what allowed Soros to pump money in. That’s not correct. Soros has been pumping money in for years before CFR and has an endless maize of companies and foundations all over the world and he can secretly inject his money in regardless of what laws are written.
Let me repeat that, Soros can pump his money in regardless of what laws are written, because it is simply not possible to ever separate money from power. Never going to happen.
As the benefactor of Newts super pac said, at least this way, you know who I am and what I stand for and its all open and honest. And that’s the beauty of super pacs. They are transparent.
Without Super PACS, we are left with candidates, networks, and George Soros. Sorry, that’s the way it is.
