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.
