PACs and public financing debate reshapes campaign influence
The Heritage Foundation criticizes Democrat reforms aiming to curb PAC contributions while advocates of public financing face mixed public opinion. Paul Kamenar argues against bans, noting PACs include millions of small donors and disclose their contributions. He cites 3,300 registered PACs and shows most raised under $10,000, with average gifts around $500, suggesting PACs broaden citizen involvement more than they tilt to fat-cat donors. Public financing proposals worry taxpayers subsidizing opposing candidates.

Industrial Hypocracy by the UAW and Chrysler’s debt
