Jeb Bush on campaign finance: 'no limits'

Donors should be allowed to give unlimited amounts of money to political campaigns, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said in a 2012 congressional hearing. Bush also said campaigns should be required to fully disclose their donors.

“I love the idea of having campaigns be funded directly rather than indirectly and have no limits and total transparency,” Bush said. “If people were offended by a large donor, the candidate … would have to accept responsibility for the message and for the amount of money and for who gave it. That would be, for me, talking about markets rather than a government-controlled kind of response. That would be a better approach.”
