Except that's exactly how it works in the more civilized countries, don't know about yours though.
Newt and Santorum would have dropped out when they realized they don't have the public's support. Now they're fooled into believing they have it because of the arificial propping up by individual millionaires, who'll be surely demanding their bounty later - unelected guys with their personal agendas who don't feel obliged to report to the people. It's still "We the people" as far as I remember.
100,000 is nothing compared to the millions these guys are getting from those millionaires. Those workers would've collected 100,000 with huge pains, while these guys receive 1 mill, 5 mill, even 10 mill on a whim. If you're failing to see how this doesn't tilt the process, it's only your problem.
Transparency is essential in politics, period. The alternative creates corruption. That's not democracy, it's oligarchy.
