A political idea
How would you guys feel if anyone running for public office had a hard limit on the amount of money they are allowed to spend on their campaign?
Today, most of those holding high authority public offices (the president, congressmen, etc) are millionaires or even billionaires. Elections have nearly become popularity contests, and the only way to have a shot is to spend ungodly amounts of money on advertising, rallies, and other events. The average guy (or anyone lesser than a millionaire) doesn’t stand a chance.
I feel that by some process (perhaps people could vote, or there would be some sort of committee or something) a hard limit on campaign expenses should be set each year such that the playing field becomes more level. Those running for office would have to provide documentation to the government to prove expenses, and this information would be made public,
