    "Return on our investment", politicians aren't stocks that you can buy and sell. Government isn't a business.

      Agreed. Now it's Nixon/Watergate x 100. I watched the hearing yesterday.

    Every American voter should be aware of this and demand their politicians to end this!

    Government serves the rich special interests. It’s one of the reasons even small town government no longer effectively represents its people. The only interests being heard are the ones with money and that often means corruption.

    I've never heard of a cheap politician when it comes to re-election.

    Excellent vid, thanks for explaining this.
    It's a tough call. People need to know who to vote for and why. That means campaigning to get your name and positions out, which cost money. You want people to support candidates they like, but you don't want bribery.
    The last presidential candidate *not* to campaign was Alf Landon in 1936. He added his name to the ballot and then disappeared. FDR crushed him. Never again.

    Political campaigns require a lot of money this is why campaign financing laws are the problem not the solution
