The lower the level the election, the less important money is. It’s also easier to raise the necessary funds because less is needed and having too much funding is viewed with a jaundiced eye by the voters.
Does it cure everything? Of course not. But it’s a darn fine first step in restoring the Constitution and the balance between the states and the fedgov. The 17th amendment was a serious mistake. It should be undone.
Ah yes, you’re so right but of course that means that the higher up the election, the greater the money influence!
Seems to be the major problem and I’m not really sure just how to rid ourselves of that problem (it does have a corrupting influence).
No commandment will really address that problem. It really seems to be a morality problem to me and the morality of most politicians are questionable! Yes, sounds like a comparison of used car salesman to me also.
