Yikes, how does creating another super PAC achieve fair government?

It's not really about fair government. Just different government.

I don't think government will ever be fair, but at least ours can be changed.

I'd suggest the best hope the US has for a better government is Wolf PAC, which is essentially a PAC to get rid of PACs (by constitutional amendment, so it can't be easily overturned):

http://www.wolf-pac.com/

It's had some success already, with some states signing up to it, but plenty of work remaining to push it forward.

That's interesting. Thanks for sharing. If only he would describe how wolf-PAC intended to achieve its goals, and why it is necessary, in the video on the front page. I had to read the Wikipedia page to discover that.

Side-rant. So many people are bad at getting to the point in YouTube videos...

Edit: now I see their front page video is intended to be news, not an intro. I think it should be an intro. Whatevs

Fair government is one of the policy goals on Altman's page.
