SuperPacks: Wrong or Right. Freedom for the Rich? Jury is still out.

Still #thinking, but I'm not sure if I'm totally against "superpacks". It's the quid pro quo (which doesn't have to be just about money), the gamesmanship, and lies. #Consider #truth. Why shouldn't money be allowed 2back truth, & the right person 4the right job w/o receiving anything in return? But, just because they believe in what is right & they are only putting their money where their mouth is. It's the shady stuff we don't like, whether it involves money or not. To say the rich can't use money wisely/honestly that they earned, could be another way to punish rich, like higher tax rates for them (#flat tax is the way to go). But I'm still thinking. I hope to enter the political/public servant realm. I have integrity. I could be given 1billion dollars and still be trusted to do what is right even if it's against the interest of the billion dollar donor. But then, I may not get the billion. So, I have to trust the voter and go grassroots. I conclude the real issue is the integrity/back bone of the politician, and misinformed, easily tricked voters that can be fooled by an onslaught of ads filled with half truths and flat-out lies, made possible by big money from individuals and superpacks. But again, I'm still thinking. Evil happens when good people do nothing. Good people do nothing because they do not want to or are ignorant. The way our system was set up by our founders, I believe truth and justice, integrity from campaigners and those that hold office, and most importantly, the well informed voter that doesn't look left, right, or even center but votes for what is right and consistent with America, will win and beat shadiness, no matter how much cash. Naive? If you think so, that may be the problem. But again, I am still thinking. God Bless America Yulanda K. Jones
