You said "hidden"

Yes. So, please tell us who is contributing money to the US Chamber of
Commerce and how that money is being kept separated from the funds that
group is throwing at attack ads for Republicans.

It is no different than the 537s for the unions, banks and the trial
lawyers. If you just want to say there is too much bribe money in
politics, where do I sign?

This is much different in the volume of money esp. My recollection is that
537s had to disclose contributors. That has now changed and opened up the
flood gates.

There are lots of ways hidden ways to funnel corporate money into
politics and both parties use them. Do you know about opensecrets.org?

Sure... but they don't have access to the actual data.

They have the actual numbers reported to the government but you are
right that details from bundlers are unavailable.
That is true for both parties although your blinders only allow you to
see good things about democrats and bad things about republicans.
I have no problem seeing both of them being weasels.

Except that the Republicans are getting (as website said) 8:1 on the money.
And, we can't see the foreign interest money, which would be illegal if
discovered.
