Yes, We DO Need to Find a Way

Editor, USA Today
To the Editor:
Drummond Drew writes that "We need to find a way to get money out of politics" (Letters, April 26). He mistakenly supposes that carts push horses. Money is in politics only because politicians confiscate and control so much of our money.
The only way to free politics from the influence of money is to free our money from the influence of politics.
Sincerely,
