Point missed again. If you are not independently wealthy you can still run a grass roots campaign.

Example: Bernie Sanders....he does not accept money from ultra-rich donors and is still beating Hillary, who is the epitome of accepting big money from all over.

When a candidate accepts millions of dollars form Rich donors, you bet your bippy he is subservient to the rich donor class. Why do you think the middle class has been getting screwed for 3 decades??

Every time i see that line of reasoning, i wonder what does it mean if the next election cycle Mark Zuckerberg is the only candidate self financing?
