New Tech Super PACs Could Tap Into Google Riches 52
An anonymous reader writes "A for-profit university bankrolled by prominent tech firms and co-founded by futurist Ray Kurzweil is behind four separate super PACs formed this week, according to interviews and documents filed with the Federal Election Commission. Randi Willis, an official at Singularity University, confirmed to the Center for Public Integrity that leaders at her institution will later this year begin determining how to best use these new political committees, which could tap into the wealth of tech industry titans."

They'll decide that they know how we should all live our lives. Then they'll lobby government to force us to live that way. Futurists and tech "geniuses" are neither wise nor humble.

Great... another group of rich assholes deciding what we should think and do and say and running our government.
Would be much better if we had an actual democracy where the government did what the majority of people wanted rather than just what the rich bastards wanted.
