Campaign Finance

I think the amount of money circulated between politicians for campaigns is ridiculous. If they tried half as hard as they do to raise money for their campaigning and used that effort for things for the people, our government would be so much better. If a presidential candidate can raise 1 billion dollars just for campaigning why can't they do the same for our schools? Or infrastructures? Not to mention politicians are shady! Anyways, I think there should be limits as to how much someone can donate because helping the people should be the first thing on a candidates mind not how much money they've raised.

I agree with cinnamon, with the amount of money being spent half of it could easily be put towards charity or some sort of schools. There is way too much being spent here and I think that it could be put towards something better.

I think the money could definitely be put towards other things. But the people donating the money see it as their way of helping their country, by trying to get that candidate into office. Plus there already are limits to it.
