Trailer: In this episode of “Chronoscope,” democratic senator Mike Monroney discusses corruption within the IRS and the campaigns of some political figures, including Taft. Monroney denies that the Democrats or the White House is entirely to blame for the recent corruption scandal, and claims that the present democratic congress is zealously cleaning up the corruption. He also says that the system of appointments for positions within the IRS is also to blame for the corruption, and argues that these positions should be for career workers. The Corrupt Practices Act of 1925 that set limits on campaign spending in each state is outdated and must be amended, Monroney claims. He argues that elections are in a new age of television, billboards, radio, and other forms of media that demand more and more money. Monroney predicts that Sam Rayburn will be the Democratic candidate and that Eisenhower would be a hard candidate to beat. See the full length: www.qualityinformationpublishers.com less
