In the wake of Watergate, Congress tried to rein in the filthy influence of money on politics because businessman W. Clement Stone had donated two million dollars to a candidate.  In today's dollars, that equates to $11m.

Right now the Koch Brothers, through unlimited Super PACs, have $889m in today's dollars to spend.

That's the difference.
