The "special interests" are a counter to the mob. Sort of a
checks-and-balances, a division of power. The "mob" won't let the special
interests get too far afield, and the "special interests" act as a brake on
"gimme (oil, drugs, etc.) for free."

George Will proposed a simplified campaign finance law:

1. No cash,
2. No foreign contributions,
3. Instant disclosure.

That's it.
