If they can spend money without limit and without funding disclosures, then they have a hell of a lot more leeway than any of the "individuals that own it."
I agree and I think you make some good points but I think that if Citizens United taught us anything, it was that there is more than one way to create an autocracy.
Oh you kids and your 10th amendment, how quaint. Listen, you can ratchet jaw all day about how "the founders would do this" or "the 10th amendment means the feds don't have the authority to do that" but I'm here to tell you that none of that matters. There is this thing called the Supreme Court, and they, not you nor any elected officials, are the ones who get to decide how the constitution works (which is exactly what the framers intended).

As long as they're releasing factual information I find claims that I should discount that information dubious at best.
