Secret campaign contributions from trusts where there is no transparency or clarity on who these groups are is dangerous in the form of how much these groups hold a sway over that elected official. If a trust or group can, by contributing a large amount to a campaign, control the path that the elected official takes or sways their opinions, than it is a dangerous and corrupt system. Only the few will benefit but the rest will be left to suffer.
