How on earth do elections work? I mean I really can't make any promise to the people because I could just as easily break the promise. Would people really be involved in something they really have no insight into? Who actually has your best interest in mind? Who is accepting money? Who isn't? We are trusting a group of people that currently only care about re-election. The secret ballot could probably help the congress as much as it could hurt it. If you control for campaign finance then you take away corporations ability to provide job security. I mean how on earth would we know who to vote for? Like If I say I will do one thing and my candidate says the same how on earth do I tell the difference when voting?
