The 2019 Chicago elections and the 2020 national elections have been the most expensive in our nation’s history, with 2020 election campaigns spending more than $14 billion. Efforts at regulating money in politics have not always been successful. Some attempts have included transparency, anticorruption laws, campaign contribution limits, and lobbying restrictions. Unfortunately, wealthy corporations and individuals prefer different public policies from the general public. They succeeded in skewing laws and regulations in their favor. Money is also used to shape public opinion through think tanks and controlling the media. Public campaign funding is required to limit money’s ill effects. |
