John Stossel on Why Campaign Spending Doesn't Cause Corruption
The Supreme Court right now is revisiting campaign finance laws because Montana's Supreme Court ruled that Montana can ban corporate spending on state politics. Sens.

Right, says John Stossel, as though politicians don't routinely constitute a "potential for corruption" all by themselves.
