Half of all campaign money comes from 158 families

Quote:

Just 158 families, along with companies they own or control, contributed $176 million in the first phase of the [2016] campaign, a New York Times investigation found. Not since before Watergate have so few people and businesses provided so much early money in a campaign, most of it through channels legalized by the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision five years ago.
