Campaign Finance Reform

Sorry for the late post,
I think we need campaign finance reform because without reform, the rich people will pretty much get what they want because they have the money for the candidates to help finance their campaign and the candidates need it so they can have a successful campaign. There is also a lot of corruption as it is now and there needs to be a power to look over it to make sure there is no corruption going on. In the documentary, there was a company who was giving a substantial amount of money and there official address was a P.O. box at a UPS store, so there is obviously corruption going on. It is going in minor elections too, it was happening in Tallahassee, but a little more than a month ago, the people of Tallahassee voted for limiting the money in local elections and politics, so the people know what corruption is going on. I think rather than targeting the IRS here I think that we should target the FEC because the FEC is to blame for all of this. The FEC committee should be comprised of six bi-partisan members (It is usually selected by the Senate, House of Representatives, and the President with each getting to select two members), but with the way it is selected now, the Republicans will most likely pick all conservatives because Republicans usually like Conservative ideas and support them. The president will most likely select two liberals because he himself is a liberal. That would put the Republicans in favor and more Republican ideas would be support and the Democrats would get the short end of the stick and it would not be equal tension.
