Wait.. hold on for a second.. and think about the following points.
1. Campaigns cost a lot of money.
2. Private organizations fund political campaigns.
3. A legislator's constitutional job is to maintain an effective set of rules for a country/state/city whatever.
4. Is the democratic process effective in voting in the best legislators?
4.a. or is the democratic process the best at voting in the best fund raisers?
5. With the massive amounts of private capital, are the best innovators, engineers and builders succeeding or are the best fund raisers succeeding?
6. Is private capital largely responsible for the success of new companies (ventures) as well as aspiring legislators?
Well, not everything is so black and white as those points, but looking at one extreme perspective, does raise many concerns in my mind. The primary one being, "is democracy reaching it's breaking point?"
