George Soros's son starts his own super pac to combat right wing pacs

Kai Ryssdal: Today's money in politics story comes to us with a 'like father like son' twist to it. Jonathan Soros, son of liberal financier George, is taking after dad by funding a political project of his own. Soros-the-younger says he wants to reduce the influence of big money in politics.

And bear with me now, 'cause this is where this story gets a little weird. The way he's going to fight Super PACs? By launching a super PAC.

Marketplace's Mark Garrison tries to make some sense of it.

So - he's using fire to fight fire. Makes sense to me.

Somtimes one has to go where an argument is being fought in order to win it.
