Old saying it takes money to make money.Do you think a mister know body could even afford to run.Why do they all become millionaires after getting into a office.We need no more voting yourself a raise.Life in prison or death for lobbing,bribery and kick backs.No Special Social Security for them.Everyone held accountable,not just the peons here.

They already do, that's why it costs $10million. Without that kind of backing you get no press coverage, no airtime, and your opinions get swept under the carpet, that's why you only have Rep & Dem congressmen/senators; noone else gets a look in.

The more money they have the more media they can use to their advantage....thus usually the one with more money wins.
