[EL] Check out Super-PACs: Little From Corporations - Bloomberg

[Adam Bonin]

Only if you believe there's a meaningful difference in the types of speech
c4s and c6s can engage in, compared to SuperPACs. This Crossroads GPS ad,
for example, is pure c4: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdIKr_zX7FE

Because all the money contributed can be used for direct political activity.
Using a c4 or c6 essentially imposes a 50% tax on your political
expenditures.

Why would any corporation contribute directly to a publicly-disclosed
SuperPAC when they can instead engage in political activities via 501c4s and
501c6s?

This is disappointing but not unexpected, at least by me.  Only 7.6% of
contributions to Super PACs are from corporations and almost all of these
are privately held corps.  This means almost no participation by publicly
held corps.  Another anti-CU fantasy dispelled, just like the "foreign
money" fantasy.  Jim Bopp
