The main source of money for political campaigns has been public money and money from interest groups. This has changed since the Supreme Court ruled that corporations are "human" and have rights. The end result has been that huge amounts of money is now flowing into campaigns from very rich men who own and run very rich corporations. Unless this is stopped the .01% will control the political power and policies of the country.

What was the main sources of campaign funds before 1971?

Before 1971, the main sources of campaign funds in the United States primarily included individual contributions, party funds, and corporate donations. Wealthy donors often played a significant role, and there were few regulations governing the amount of money that could be contributed. This led to a reliance on large donations from individuals and organizations, which raised concerns about the influence of money in politics. The lack of transparency and limits on contributions contributed to calls for campaign finance reform, culminating in the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971.
