Purchasing Political Power

U.S. SENATE MAJORITY LEADER John McConnell has more letters in his last name than he needs, and less sense in his political ideology. He wants to take a bad situation, and make it worse. He wants to eliminate limits on campaign contributions made to political parties and political candidates. Since 2010, the year in which the U.S. supreme court decided that money is a form of free speech, Political Action Committees have sprouted all across the fruited plain, accumulating vast treasure troves of money from super rich folks, and using it to buy advertising, and thus elections, for candidates of choice. Politicians are currently owned and controlled by political action committees, and MccConnnell them to be owned and controlled more directly, by the established (republican) party system. People who consider politicians to be all crooks are quite correct; they accept bribes from contributors, and thus become beholden to them, bound to do their bidding. but direct contributions to parties and candidates are still limited by law, and this is what the Kentucky Senator wishes to change. His reasoning is that by so doing, influence of PACs will be equalized by direct party influence, and, after all, its the parties themselves that matter, and its the parties themselves which should have at least as much purchasing power as the outside, unregulated PACs. In other words, since we have a corrupt system, equalize the corruption, and spread the wealth. This is insanity, because the reasonable answer consists in only seven simple words, or, if you prefer, nine: "the sale and purchase) of political advertising is prohibited." The man of many letters is hugely successful at raising campaign funds - why wouldn't he want to play the game at an even higher level? The American political system is utterly corrupt, corrupted by big money. Why wouldn't the rest of us want to do away with it, and establish something more closely resembling a democratic political system in which we the people are actually represented?
