Soft money will find its way and seep into the political system and corrode it, unless we plug every hole.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There is no accountability in soft money. None.
And if we make the process political, if we start to make it personal, we're actually going to frustrate good public policy, in terms of managing this money.
Well, the role of money in politics is pretty corrupting right now.
We need to get the corporate money out of the political system and return democracy to the people.
Policy makers still think that if we just hand out more money the world's problems will be solved.

Money has a way of trumping even the gravest of enemies over time.

In 2008 we came perilously close to killing money, exposing in the process how out of date money's infrastructure has become.
