In the U.S. a citizen may give $2,700 per election to a federal candidate, $5,000 per year to a PAC, $10,000 per year to a State or local party committee and $33,400 per year to a national party. Citizens and corporations may give unlimited amounts to a Super PAC. A Super PAC is freed from traditional campaign finance laws as long as it does not fund a candidate or campaign or coordinate directly with a campaign how to spend donations.

No, as long as all donations are public knowledge and the donors investigated if the donation exceeded a certain limit
@8QLVLSV3yrs3Y
There should be a hard cap. We should not be electing people based on how much money they can raise.
I don't think it matters on the amount of money a candidate receives from a donor. That is, I believe, the donors' decision.
@8PXL3BFNew Democratic3yrs3Y
Yes, democracy is not a popularity contest.
Yes, because trying to be the president should be done out of patriotism and no other reasons.

Yes, and ban all political donations for the purpose of campaigning and publicly fund elections from a fund that allow people to donate to instead.Administration and other party functions can be funded via private donation with no tax write off.
Deleted3yrs3Y
No, as long as donations over a certain value are public knowledge.
@8R4DMBRConservative3yrs3Y
Yes, but the current limits are far too low and are not a good balance between having elections that are not bought and free speech.
@8QTW592New Democratic3yrs3Y
People should be able to give as much money as they want but there are people that almost never receive any money so maybe there is a point when the money needs to be split with another candidate once it reaches a certain amount of money

@88LK76J2yrs2Y
@89CDM9C3yrs3Y
No, but a donor should be one individual person, not a corporation, union, or any other group. Political campaigns should also be tax exempt non-profits (repeal the Johnson Act).
@842VWLK3yrs3Y
yes, but do slightly increase the amount someone can donate so that it can be a bit more competitive.
