On the recordApril 11, 2000
Most Members who get elected have to raise a lot of money. A lot of money has to be raised, and they get it from all these corporations who want something to happen in these hallowed halls. They do not give that money for no reason at all. If they cannot get it from the Member, then they cannot get their message across. So they form up these 527 organizations. They have unlimited amounts of money. They can take money from anywhere in the world, and nobody will ever know where it came from. So if the gentleman is worried about the taxpayers of this country and he is not worried about what it is that changes the tax structure and who gets the breaks around here, the gentleman ought to go down to K Street and take a little look around. Those offices down there are paid for by the same people who have the 527 organizations who want the tax structure to work for them.
