I'd like to see one more nuanced - allowing me to pick issues that are really important and those that are not. Then tell me whom I should support.
Money, politics and ideas are getting terribly jumbled in the knee-jerk debate about campaign finance. What money buys is the opportunity to share an idea with more people. If we are going to succeed as a country, we need citizens who are educated and smart enough to sift through these ideas and pursue the truth in the process. That is, after all, the rationale that underlies our system of freedom of expression.
