New York Post Online Edition: postopinion gives a rather fascinating account of the way we ended up with campaign finance reform. No matter which side of the last election you were on, the reform seems to have created more annoyance and problems than it solved.
Not only did the result mean the hideous ads from 521's, it also means that if I "buy" my favorite candidate by giving $1 more than the limit, we got problems. This is the small frye. The big fish found ways and ways and ways around the law. I can't use my political "speech" to support my favorite candidate above $2000, but George Soros can spend millions of his pocket change to support his favorite? Hmm..
