Too much money in politics. But if it’s inevitable, let it flow directly to candidates and demand full disclosure, with stiff penalties.2/3

And end the SuperPac and faux SuperPac game that too often allows donors to elude detection and candidates to deny responsibility. 3/3.

Obama campaign strategist David Axelrod took to Twitter this morning to reveal that he thinks individuals should be allowed to donate as much as they wish to politicians, provided the donations are fully disclosed.
The surprising revelation puts Axelrod in the same camp as many conservatives and libertarians, such as Doug Bandow of the Cato Institute.
In related news, the Supreme Court announced today that it will consider the constitutionality of limits on campaign finance contributions.
