The bad money comes from those "special interests" who join the "political class" in picking on business, which is where the good money comes from. Public funding, in his view, would also count as bad money for a variety of reasons. But there's plenty of evidence that big business gives money to both sides in a Bipolarchy contest, which makes me wonder who Will actually expects to subsidize a real challenge to the political class.Samuel Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934870299522899944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8820814198873126054.post-53731840324801205302010-07-12T22:35:23.836-04:002010-07-12T22:35:23.836-04:001) How about "specialized interests" ins...1) How about "specialized interests" instead?

To put it plainly, perhaps money is the problem to begin with and therefore, more money will simply make the problem fatter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
