Politicians having to raise money to participate in the game show we call democracy just leaves them indebted to their financiers, and thus instead of mob rule we have puppet masters that hide behind the figureheads, and own stock in any politician with a real chance of winning any given race. And the men behind the curtain answer to noone, and are insulated from repercussions from their schemes, leaving them in a position to just buy the replacements of any of their puppets to be ousted. This leaves the illusion of freedoms and government serving the public intact for the sleeping masses!

They have to raise money to stay in congress... it's a stupid system. Although it doesn't work that way here. What happens instead is that they make favours to big companies benefitting them or allowing them to earn a public contest for a big construction or whatever, and then when they get out of politics they are compensated with a nice job as consultant or ceo in a big company... not that everyone is like that. I refuse to believe that. But there are so many examples everywhere, frequently very well known by the public...
Oh and democracy is different than republic... we have republics =)
