Abstract

Nobody has time to read an entire law review article about campaign finance reform. In the spirit of USA Today, I offer the busy reader everything you need to know about the debate over campaign financing in the form of three principles and two corollaries. Principle A: Money Helps Win Elections Principle B: Rich People Have More Money Principle C: Republicans Have More Rich People Corollary I Republicans Oppose Campaign Finance Reform, Unless The Reform Is Guaranteed To Hurt Democrats More Corollary II Democrats Favor Campaign Finance Reform, But Are More Likely To Bend The Rules Because They Are Always Playing Financial Catch-Up
