Citizens United make it possible for the Kochs and their handful of clones to spend 20 times that and not even make a dent in their petty cash.

If you drive a Rolls-Royce or a Bugatti, I don't begrudge you that. However, it gives you no more right to run over pedestrians on the street than the guy driving the 12 year old Ford pickup. If these guys are rich, fine, let them spend their money on private planes or Caribbean islands. Our elections should NOT be on the "for sale" list.
