"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing year after year and expecting different results" Proponents of campaign finance reform are going about it all wrong. It's always the same proposal: enact limits on campaign donations. The trouble is the speech issue, which is unavoidable and frankly valid. Time to try something new. You can't limit political speech, but you can tax it! Taxation is a well established legislative power, and taxing campaign donations isnt the same thing as setting caps on them. Tax the hell out of them, on a highly progressive scale. Then funnel the revenues into public campaign financing.
