   If you win an election with a level playing field, then I agree. But if   
   one side out spends the other side by 8 to 1 using not his own money but   
   money from out side of the state oligarchs like David and Charles Koch   
   then I disagree. Most people think that American elections should not be   
   about spending money.   
      
   The reason is simple: Because it means guys like Walker are beholden to   
   the Kochs and other Oligarchs, not to you, not to the public and not to   
   the people who elected him. You are being very foolish to give away your   
   proxy to the Oligarchs.
