Two authors are warning that the right has a secret "master plan" to help billionaires buy elections.

In a Rolling Stone commentary piece published Monday and adapted by David Sirota and Jared Jacang Maher's upcoming book "Master Plan: The Hidden Plot to Legalize Corruption in America," the authors describe how two lawsuits heading to the Supreme Court could eliminate "the last restrictions on campaign donations and obstructing law enforcement’s efforts to halt bribery."

One of those lawsuits is led by Vice President JD Vance, "aiming to reverse a 2001 Supreme Court ruling and eliminate restrictions on political parties’ coordinated spending with candidates."


Applegrove: cue the deep news stories on India and corruption and how insidious it is for the average person who cannot afford to anti in the game. Cue the in depth news stories in the middle east and how insidious it is to business and employment for young people. For sure if these laws happen you'd have to have a billion dollars to pay politicians to get any legislation passed.
