Campaign Finance Reform is a scam

From the NYPost:

There was a three-pronged strategy: 1) pursue an expansive agenda through incremental reforms, 2) pay for a handful of "experts" all over the country with foundation money and 3) create fake business, minority and religious groups to pound the table for reform.

What would have happened had a major news organization gotten a hold of this at the wrong time?" ...George Will stumbled across a report ...he started to reference that this was a liberal attempt to hoodwink Congress...Journalists didn't care . . . So no one followed up on the story."

And if you think that’s bad, it’s considerably worse in Canada. Read this Andrew Coyne article here, and check out this graph:

2004 Election Tally

Party	Expenses	Reimbursed @60%	+ Subsidy @1.75/vote	= Total Public $
Liberals	$16.6 mil	$9.9 mil	$8.7 mil	$18.6 mil
Tories	17.3	10.3	7.0	17.3
NDP	12.0	7.2	3.7	10.9
BQ	4.5	2.7	2.9	5.6
Greens	0.5	0.3	1.0	1.3
TOTAL	50.9	30.4	23.3	53.7

And who's to blame for all of this? Voters who don't pay attention, and end up voting for politicians that think that the government has a people, and not the other way around.
