Questions:
1. What are the distinctions between hard and soft money (Schnietz Note)? What has soft money been
replaced with?
2. Corporate political contributions are often criticized for “buying” legislators’ votes on bills
(Clawson). What do you think – does money matter and, if so, under any particular circumstances?
3. Many people argue that business is “politically privileged,” or naturally advantaged, in comparison
with many other interest groups when seeking to influence public policies. In what ways is this true?
How does the Interest Withholding Case support and undermine the business political privilege
argument?
4. Was the interest withholding legislation an example of a low or a high visibility issue? What
“public interest” rationales (issue reframing) did the ABA offer in seeking to repeal the law? If
high-visibility political strategies are generally more risky and costly (and they are), then why did
the ABA pursue one?
5. What were the causes of Chrysler’s financial difficulties in 1979? What were the main arguments
against public assistance to remedy Chrysler’s financial trouble? What public interest rationales did
Chrysler develop to counter opposition and develop support for the loan guarantees? What grade
would you give Chrysler’s political strategy to get the loan guarantees passed?
6. What explains why the airline industry received public subsidies after 9-11 but not the insurance
industry? After all, both industries are highly politically active and faced enormous financial losses
and liabilities in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centers and the Pentagon.
The NYT article suggests the airline industry prevailed because it had a “mighty lobby.” Is it that
simple?
