And here lies the problem. It used to be that people were more responsible for themselves.

The post you replied to is one credible source. There are many others. Do your own homework.

If you can't be bothered to do your own homework, then you are likely to remain uninformed. This is what is meant by the phrase, "low information voter."

The political network spearheaded by conservative billionaires Charles and
David Koch has expanded into a far-reaching operation of unrivaled complexity,
built around a maze of groups that cloaks its donors, according to an analysis
of new tax returns and other documents.

The resources and the breadth of the organization make it singular in American politics: an operation conducted outside the campaign finance system, employing an array of groups aimed at stopping what its financiers view as government overreach. Members of the coalition target different constituencies but together have mounted attacks on the new health-care law, federal spending and environmental regulations.
Koch-backed political network, built to shield donors, raised $400 million in 2012 elections - The Washington Post

Bzzzt...wrong you are again!

If I had my way, we would get rid of PACs completely, and get rid of the campaign donation system completely. We should run elections how other countries do. All election campaigns publicly funded, and limited to about six weeks prior to election day.

Of course, you neo-cons would oppose that because it would be "socialism." Yet it seems to work fine in many other countries.

I like this and the only thing left out was term limits.

That's right ... the Heinz family! And I recall that she also gives to the Tides Foundation. That money stays in circulation among liberals, doesn't it?

Bet most citizens have no idea who Soro's is, let alone what he's up to.

Yep, term limits for Congress would be ideal as well, though probably impossible to achieve. I would also raise House terms from two years to at least four years to break up the campaign cycle further.
