IN TODAY’S WORLD, SINCE CITIZENS UNITED, A PRESIDENTIAL
CANDIDATE HAS TO HAVE TWO THINGS, MAYBE THREE, BEFORE MAKING A SERIOUS RUN FOR
OFFICE! NONE OF THESE HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH “THE REAL PEOPLE, THE CITIZENS
OF AMERICA!
HE, OR SHE NEEDS AT LEAST ONE BILLIONAIRE willing to spend
limitless amounts on his or her campaign and a “SUPER PAC”—a supposedly
independent political action committee that accepts large donations that have
to be disclosed. The third useful asset is “DARK MONEY”, an organization that
under the tax code is supposedly “operated exclusively to promote social
welfare.”
The relevant section of the tax code, 501(c)(4), would
appear to be intended for the Sierra Club and the like, not political money.
But the IRS rules give the political groups the same protection. The
contributions to these last groups have come to be called “dark money” because
the donors can remain secret. The very wealthy can contribute to such dark
money groups in the knowledge that people won’t know who is trying to buy a
candidate.
