I don't want someone I don't like operating on me. So I find someone I like, someone I trust, then I dump hundreds of thousands making sure they become a doctor. Who cares if they're a really crappy doctor and other people get really bad medical service, I got the doctor I wanted.

And food.

I don't want someone I don't like cooking my food. So I find someone who will probably be ok and then put them in the kitchen. Sometimes I get botulism, sometimes I get a decent meal. But at least I like the guy.



Our current system allows for advancement (mostly) of either the best fundraiser or the easiest to manipulate (i.e., big spenders invest a lot because they want favorable legislation). An individual's money is their own and they have a right to spend it how they want. But buying legislation seems like a pretty bad way to govern.

Fundraising has nothing to do with it.  I'm not talking about what the candidates raise, I'm talking about me being allowed to spend my money on ads or signs or what have you however I want whenever I want.
