Yes, of course. If anybody wants to give me a check for whatever amount, I take it. Who wouldn't? And if I have a lot of money and I want to give it to whoever I want, whose business is it? Is my money. Is not government money after I pay my taxes. I don't understand how is it that there are people that don't understand private property. And I am talking especially about educated (so called)politicians.

The problem is that many people that vote are not educated either. Many people are moved to vote for a certain candidate after a politician has spent a lot of money trying to brain wash you. So no matter how much money a politician spend, people should have their mind educated enough to know what is it that they want for this country. We should should know what economic policies are best for the country in general. We should know what are the government responsibilities and what areas government should not get involved. We should know enough about war and peace. We should know about the Constitution and The Declaration of Independence. The more educated we are to exercise our vote the better prepare we are to discern between too much propaganda and the true.

So the bottom line is that politicians spend too much money unnecessarily sometimes. I understand that money is necessary so you can hear what the candidates have to say. By listening to the candidates over and over again you can form your opinion about where the candidate stand on the issues. But if you are in the limbo and you just vote based on feelings and emotions then politicians are going to need much more money to repeat and repeat a lie over and over again until your reasoning is wiped out by feelings. So it is on us to allow being brain washed by facts or by feelings and emotions. Let them spend all the money they want. We are the one that need to become sober and learn the facts. Be a man and a woman of "principles".
