Campaigns Raise a Ton of Money.
I was listening to the news yesterday and a strange fact hit me. I was told that the Clinton and Obama campaigns had raised a combined 80 million dollars last month. Granted, February was a leap year this year, but doesn't that seem like a ton of money to you? We'll break it down
$2.759 million/day
$114943/hour
$1916/minute
Wow, at that rate, we as a country could theoretically raise over 1 billion dollars every year without raising our taxes a dime.
I realize that it takes money to run a campaign for president, but we should ask ourselves, is this really what we should be spending our hard earned money on?
