Should America move to federally financed political campaigns?

Yes, they get to spend only so much money depending on the position, and they can only campaign for 60 days prior to the election, and only on public broadcast stations...

The thing about human nature is that it simply takes a great man to be able to work on a higher plane, for the sake of natural humanity. A man who can make decisions in the interest of his country rather than his own. This is the kind of person we should be electing in the first place.

As far as seperate factions, this would essentially be changing the way our government works. (At this point may not be such a bad idea)
There will always be major conflicts when you're dealing with a country of all types of incomes, races and religions, and in knowing this, we must understand that an agreement for all of us would be something hard to come by.
So why/how do we expect "United States" to work when we don't stand united?
We must either all learn to except one another for who they are, and live by a "to each his own" mentallity, or we will surely fall apart out of fear, racism, and over all unfamiliarity with one another.




"If there is a form of government, then, whose principle and foundation is virtue, will not every sober man acknowledge it better calculated to promote the general happiness than any other form?

Fear is the foundation of most governments; but it is so sordid and brutal a passion, and renders men in whose breasts it predominates so stupid and miserable, that Americans will not be likely to approve of any political institution which is founded on it."
