- tuyguntn 5y agoyeah I think this must be solved before any other secondary problems. If taxpayers need President, then let their campaign funded only by taxpayer money. Same applies to Senate and everyone who is elected. Limited and equal amount to all sides and let them be as creative as possible. But never take corporation money

- chefandy 5y agoSad that he didn't get more traction because he had some fantastic practical and well-thought-out policy solutions: I mean, how rare is that among folks with political aspirations? Even if he had, he'd not likely have made it too far, anyway. Too many people with too much influence have too much at stake. Someone would have whipped up a gazillion dollar FUD machine against him the very second broad support for his ideas seemed plausible.
