Elections are not Won, They are Bought; We need to change That

   Politics is a matter of money, not morality. Nearly $1.3 billion was spent on the 2022 primary and general elections.
   And, that's just the senate races. 
   Voters rely primary on two things when they vote: 1) Which party the candidate belongs to, and 2) What they have learned about the candidates from listening to campaign ads.
   Did you get that? Political ads -- none of which offer a balanced presentation of the candidates -- they are deciding who wins and who goes home crying. Who would of thought, in a country that threw off the rule of kings and queens, a country that was to have been built on the common person, this would happen. Rule by ruble, or rule by dollar, whatever you want to call it, it is spiraling out of control. With each election, the ante to win climbs to new heights.
  Elections are not won, they are bought. We need to change that. Outlaw political advertising? Something must be done. What other solutions are there?
