Why do we allow our president to be elected because of money?

Question

Why do we in today's society allow our opinions to be bought and paid for. For example this past nominee race was dominated by 3 names. Clinton Oboma , and McCain. They were the 3 most ssuccess-full money grabbers. We never really heard anything about the other candidates. Its clear in these elections that who ever has the most money, and more power friends gets the nomination.

Answer 1

Consider this which if another person were to get television time there might be a chance. If this does not bore then perhaps if Civic Currency were put to use no candidate would have more money. There is also this to consider which is that deeds speak louder than words as your question asks about. So you wish a candidate who will do something for people say acquire funds which people may need. Someone you can visit and say My family needs X number and who will hand it over right then and will Acquire  the same for anyone else in the city. It has been said Welfare is bad but if you consider it in another light the entire nation is dependent on The Gov as people cannot always find jobs but if there were a system by which they could arrange for money in their hands this is said to be evil. Not sure what to do as both types of people have put themselves into a cul de sac or paint themselves into a corner.  

Answer 2

The zionist jews in isreal control our media. This election was set up- the candidates you hear on TV are really all working towards the same goal their just puppets of the zionist jews and the government.

That of course excludes the ones like Ron Paul and Mike Gravel who were actually against funding Isreal. The zionist jews have more power of this country then you could ever imagine, they don't just choose our candidates thy control our media and which in turn controls our culture- While were becoming a nation thats heading straight into backruptcy the media feels it's important that we cover a story about John Edwards $400 haircut.

Answer 4

Wealth has the potential to corrupt.  

United States of America has the unique distinction of being the political experiment where the Mainstream American has an opportunity to accrue and acquire personal wealth.  The political leader who protects and represents the vested interest of Mainstream America commands their support.

Few people in public or private sectors realize how wealthy the United States of America is in reality.  Phenomenal growth and potential for more growth is illusive and a challenge to quantify.  

Those who think and understand billions are ahead of the economic and financial curve.  The best barometer or clue of wealth is the extensive infrastructure

Federal leaders manage enormous sums.of financial wealth and extensive human resources.  The President is a representative extension of Mainstream America.  People live vicariously through the President.
