On Government Reform: Campaign Finance Reform is key to gov’t reform & tax reform

“You’re never going to get a simpler, flatter tax code unless you reform the way we finance our campaigns,” McCain says. “And you’re never going to get rid of pork-barrel spending and make government smaller until you remove the special interests that dominate our political process.”

On Government Reform: Campaign Finance: Ban soft money; ban issue ads.
