And with the costs of running for office, who are candidates supposed to get their money for Campaigns from?
I think there needs to be special concessions,Fixed hours of guaranteed time, and spending caps for every candidate to level the playing field. Otherwise we will never get corporate influence out of politics. This happens in every democracy right now I think, not just the US. But all to varying degrees. It was cited as a primary reason for the election results in Canada. One party outspent the other by a phenomenal margin. Now that party is in power and must , of course, pay back the corporations by setting policy that favors them, and not the people. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:341919 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
