4. That is where the money is.

SuperPACS have been created so that they can pump more money into elections. This works on all parties. It serves to make competing in elections MUCH more expensive, and thus makes all candidates more subservient to those who can afford to pay for those elections (large corporations or the super-rich), and less subservient to anyone of lesser means (small businesses, middle class, even the 'moderately' rich.)

They want all power returned to the rightful owners. The ones who Gawd luvs best: Those born OBSCENELY RICH
