Buying Votes

My Inbox is full of people asking for money. Some of them for good reasons. I give to the UN Human Refugee fund on a regular basis.

But many of them are from people who want to be elected to office, and their advertising campaigns. These are focused on getting them elected, and an image (or a message) that will do this. This costs money.

But this is countered by other candidates with their own advertising and their own money.

Money is fighting money, and people get lost in the crossfire that results.
