Money is Power
This sounds possible, but I can't see it being probable...
At ConservativeMatch.com, J. B. Williams has some wishful thoughts:
"Imagine waking up one morning to the news that both political parties are forced to down-size their offices all over the country due to a lack of operating funds. If all campaign funds dried up at the party level, where would politicians go to gain financial support? Back to the people who have the money…right?"
"Who would hold the power then? Who would politicians have to play ball with now? What power would either political party hold over any politician or any American? How would corporations or union bosses buy either party (and they buy both) and what difference would it make if they tried? Elected officials would be chosen by and beholden to the people, not the parties."
