Limitless

Dan Henninger argues for removing any cap on individual political campaign donations. No? Just look at the government that contribution limits and regulation has wrought.

Sez Dan:
The reformers' great horror is candidacies funded and "controlled" by a George Soros from the left or you-know-who from the right. Nonsense. Available research—and a moment's thought—suggests this fear is wildly overblown. The reformers should wake up and smell the 21st century's inescapable transparency. The 1% have nowhere to hide.

The current presidential-selection process is a self-destructive mess, for both parties. Make the fund raising simpler. Eliminate limits on individual donations. Get the parties back in the game. Give better candidates a chance to compete. Save a country in peril. What more could you want?
