As a European I'm not jealous of the money aspect in US politics. I see US politics as completely corrupt, and it's all legal. The coming elections is the 10% against the 1%. The one who cobbles together most money gets to influence most voters though campaigning and commercials. 90% of the electorate does not seem to understand that they are bought and paid for.
And because the US is the most powerful country internationally, it influences Europe in a big way. We get to deal with thing like TTIP, which seems to be a direct product of US corruption, and a refugee crisis, a direct result of failed US foreign policy (which Europe would not improve on, admittedly)
