"The other issue to me is that we pay tax dollars that go toward the campaign funds with no change back. This means that when elections come again and that candidate runs he still gets off like a fat cat because they have the millions of dollars left over from the previous campaign to keep campaigning.

It doesn't have to be as I've stated it, but something along those terms."
