Pure statistics indicate a massive redistribution of wealth over the last 30 years to the very few - the 1% and to a greater degree the .1%. One could look at public policy and law during this time and conclude that much of this wealth redistribution is the direct result of the undue influence of massive amounts of money in politics.

H. J. Res. 100, introduced last week, begins the Constitutional Ammendment process and would totally eliminate all private funding of elections.

H. J. Res. 100

(Text not yet officially published by the House of Representatives.)

Section 1. All campaigns for President and Members of the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate shall be financed entirely with public funds. No contributions shall be permitted to any candidate for Federal office from any other source, including the candidate.
Section 2. No expenditures shall be permitted in support of any candidate for Federal office, or in opposition to any candidate for Federal office, from any other source, including the candidate. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to abridge the freedom of the press.
Section 3. The Congress shall, by statute, provide limitations on the amounts and timing of the expenditures of such public funds.
Section 4. The Congress shall, by statute, provide criminal penalties for any violation of this Article.
Section 5. The Congress shall have the power to implement and enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

It is time to take the money out of politics. I stongly urge the House of Representatives to support  H. J. Res. 100 and bring it to the floor immediately for a vote.
