If this travesty of George Santos (if that's his real name) being elected to Congress points out anything, it's the obvious disaster of campaign financing.  Who would pay $3-8 million to acquire an office that will pay in return $175K for 2 years, then repeat the same process at an even greater $ amount?  I think the SCOTUS is corrupted, as exposed in the "Citizens United" decision.  Money has never been "free speech".  Money is CONTROLLED speech,   extortion and bribery, which corrupts and controls the recipient of said funds, to do the bidding of the donor.   Any fool can see that.   Anyone who believes otherwise is hopelessly naive.  Once Santos is bounced out, we need to Federally fund all elections.  No individual donations.  If you want to support, get out on the street and knock on doors. OUR DEMOCRACY IS BEING CORRUPTED BY MONEY.
