A culture of money pervades Washington and America. This is based on a flawed value system of freedom that is inequitable. People are free to earn as much money as the market legally allows, but the greater freedom achieved through a high income should not relate to greater political power over those less affluent. Monetary contributions correlate with electoral success; that is, parties that receive the most funding generally win. Consequently, money disrupts the democratic process in favor of the super elite. The cultural ethics surrounding wealth and the liberties that accompany it need to be reassessed in light of the Super PAC legislation. This is a law that should not be.
