501c4s, aka SuperPACs are nonprofit &quot;charitable&quot; organizations.<p>It&#x27;s not like the government confiscates 100% of wealthy people&#x27;s money as soon as they try to do good, it just taxes it like it does for mere mortals, whenever it changes hands. Using a legal construct to avoid personal tax liability, is quite literally depriving the government of funds it would otherwise be entitled to.<p>I think both sides of this debate have legitimate viewpoints, but I personally have a problem with the excessive opportunities given to the wealthy to avoid contributing to the funding of our shared system of governance and infrastructure.<p>Historically, they&#x27;ve never had it this good both tax-wise and income-wise, and to cry victim is in poor taste.
