The farther we get into the voting season, the more I am becoming aware of what I think are the reasons for the crazy things that are happening. Financing candidates, in my opinion, is a major problem. This poem is my opinion on the subject.

Who Should Pay By Franklin Price 2/24/2015 Who should pay for those who run? Keeps running through my mind The answer is so very clear and this is what I find Super Pacs should not exist; are based within the rich Without them certain candidates could never make their pitch Senators and Congressmen should not receive their pay When campaigning takes them from their jobs for even just a day They are not working for us when they are on the trail What they should be running on, should be received within the mail If the people don't support them, should give up and not begin Government funded by the people means we are the ones who win The U.S.A. was built on risk; that's how it should remain Those who run should fund themselves with the interest that they gain They must have believers to start the ball to roll To convince the population to vote them at the poll Donations should be limited so the people have their say So big business and the very rich do not always have their way The people are the government; at least supposed to be The rich are not the populous. They are not you and me
