It is an interesting concept. I can not think of anything outright wrong with it.

I would like to see what DVP has to say? I am sure there is a counter-point, and I am too tired to think of it.

It must be said, however, that money oftentimes has very little to do with votes. Many, many millionaires have run for office and lost by a landslide. I would have to say that charisma, policy, and public backing has more of an effect...
