Again, you're talking about people who are corrupt and allow their representation to be purchased. My contention is that it's not the system that's broke but those that use it. If I decide that I'm fed up with Republicans/Democrats and I support a "third party candidate", how can they possibly be able to get their message heard without having the capital to do so? For example, on a local level, it's not as big of an issue, but on regional or national campaigns, travel is an enormous expense. The candidate that I support is representing me and my ideas and opinions. By contributing to their campaign, I am able to get my ideas and opinions out there and represented. I do see your point Larry and it is a valid one, but I think that it's going too far and it is unconstitutional.
Again, I don't want my rights taken away because of other people's corruption. It's sort of like saying, let's get rid of sports cars because some people that drive them too fast, so in order to remove the temptation, let's get rid of them.
