Letter: Politicians addicted to campaign cash
Campaign financing is America's drug addiction. It is forcing huge corporations into bankruptcy, with their products in a seller's market, no competition and no taxes. Their largest expense is financing campaigns. The number of congressional committees that hold bankruptcy inquiries measures the addiction depth. The addiction allows foreign nations to take over our government subliminally. Any foreign nation, by financing campaigns, can manipulate us into fighting for them.
Labeling laws with campaign issue names, giving voters crumbs, but burying within the law repayment of campaign financiers perpetuates the addiction. The funds in the federal budget have gone from surplus to deficit and will proceed to oblivion to feed the habit.
Politicians resist shaking the habit, but the cure is within their grasp. The federal government owns the airwaves and licenses use to radio and television to "serve the public." Politicians without addiction can make free campaign air time available and outlaw campaign financing, but we have only one.

What the hell is this guy talking about? I can not make a bit of sense from this. Check to see if he is a resident of the local mental hospital. Or possibly a recent escapee.
