The amount of money spent in the recent campaigns was insane! Corporations could use that money to make the world a better place, instead of buying insulting ads to influence an election. I don't want my retirement accounts supporting such activity.
Bringing corporate “dark money” into the light should be a high priority for an agency charged with looking out for the interests of investors like me.
Both shareholders and the public must be fully informed as to how much corporations spend on politics and which candidates are being promoted or attacked. Disclosures should be posted promptly on the SEC’s web site.
Thank you for considering my comment.
