...After the 2010 Supreme Court Decision,PACs are allowed to raise an abundance of money for the candidates that they support. this includes super PACs, millionaires and corporations can give as much of their money to an independent group or lobbyist organization. As long as the money is not given directly to a candidate or his campaign, it is considered legal. According to the supreme court, this is not "corrupted" since it is independent of the candidate.
This is not exactly true. Wealthy corps can now use their power and wealth to influence a candidate's campaign. Are there heavy regulations on these super PACs to ensure that they are not engaging in corrupt actions. These PACs are not always independent of the candidate's affairs, as sometimes those candidates show up at fundraising events for these PACs. There are always loopholes within every rule, so I'd love to see where this goes.
