Why does it take so much money for anyone running for PRESIDENT or any other office in order to get votes?
Shouldn't we want to vote for someone who can raise the money like the candidates do who is willing to give the money earned in their campaignes which is in the 100's of millions to help with the crisis' which are occuring NOW in our BEAUTIFUL UNITED STATES instead of paying out the money for stupid election buttons and banners and all the other needless paraphenalia used for an election that should be about the person we are voting for and not how much he/she can riase to keep in the race?
Voting is not anout the actual person anymore it is about who has the most people to back him/her with $$$$$ and how much you can raise for the campaigne.
Does this money put the candidates up in posh living quarters and lavish them with expensive meals and expensive wardrobes?
we all see those commercials that say ti only takes $1.00 or less to feed the children and we see the devistation done around the world and still there is only one thing important to those who want to lead us out of poverty and to give us affordable insurance and work but they still can't stop needlessly spending the BIG BUCKS on frivolous things such as MILLION DOLLAR $$$$$ campaignes.
Is this a case of our leaders letting others over charge them and how blinded our govrnment is to allow people and big company's to over charge them with our money?
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?
