Campaign cash -- we're drowning in a flood of it. As Katrina vanden Heuvel noted yesterday on GRITtv, this is on track to be a $5 billion election—and it's not over. We used to have words for spending like that on politicians: bribery. Remember all that quaint anti-colonial talk about "Independence"? As Zephyr Teachout commented in a meeting I was part of, hosted by the Coffee Party, those founding fathers were all about independence from corruption and prosecuting bribery. Remember the phrase "anti-Trust"? Distributed by Tubemogul.
