On EBAY - the job of President of the US
If we are going to sell public office in this country to the highest bidder, why not just put it on EBAY? All this talk about which candidates are raising the most money points out a serious flaw in our system - we are not electing people to office, we are letting them buy their way in!
Logically Speaking, here is how it should work: Let people, corporations, and anyone else contribute as much money as they want, BUT TO THE RACE INSTEAD OF THE CANDIDATE! All money contributed to each race would then be divided equally amongst the candidates for that race. This would also mean that the candidates themselves can only contribute to the race, and not spend their own money on their own campaign.
Then, with all candidates getting equal exposure, let the votes fall where they may!
