Synopsis
On this episode of Unpartisan: taking politics out of policy, we cover all things Money in Politics. In our new revamped format, we are breaking each episode into three distinct yet interconnected parts starting with a historical background of how we got to where we are today with Money in Politics. We begin with a shifty lie to the Supreme Court back in the 1880's giving corporations their rights and leave off on Citizen's United. In our next two parts we tackle the current problems we are facing today through the eyes of our expert guests and conclude with a discussion on potential solutions to systemic issues in our campaign finance system.
