If The Drug Cartels Can Do It?

So what's the deal with Super PACs? How come they can run ads that are strictly attack ads and they don't have to release the names of the donors? When My name gets announced if I give a couple thousand and these donors give millions secretly. How come? Well, that was supposed to be handled when the Federal Election Commission said you had to release the names of donors if they gave the money strictly for the purpose of an attack ad. Simple enough. Just give the money with no reservations. So then the FEC was told to correct it's rules. But the FEC is made up of three Democrats and three Republicans. Any questions? So now these Social Welfare nonprofits are supposed to report the names of the donors. Is there a way around that? Well, only if you don't want to tell who's making those donations. But if you do want to keep it secret, you just give the money to one nonprofit who gives it to another nonprofit who gives it to the Super PAC. In a way its in the time honored tradition of money laundering. If you pass it around a few times, nobody knows where it came from anymore. Okay, but why is it so important to know the names of the donors anyway? Well, if you don't want the company you are part owner of to do that, you might want to know. Or if you buy their products, you may not like it. But even more importantly, you may not like the person you're going to vote for to be beholden to some rich guy. But how does the candidate know if the donors are secret? They won't be secret to the candidate if he wins. If the candidate wins, the Lincoln bedroom will be booked solid for four years.
