I don't see what's to stop special-interest-funded candidates from using their already existing money to advertise to the people and get as many My Voice Tax Credits from them as possible (if only to dry up money for the other candidates).
And I also think the Anti-Corruption Act he's promoting will eventually be gutted by the Supreme Court, as they've done to similar laws in the past: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution#Campaign_finance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Amendment_to_the_United_...
A Constitutional amendment would at least trump the Supreme Court. I wish Lessig would just insist on getting Congress to pass an Amendment he wants. But the states are already on their way, bypassing Congress: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_PAC#Progress_in_particular_states https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_PAC#Progress_in_particula...
I like the other solutions Lessig is promoting, especially FairVote.
