I'm sorry, but that is ridiculous. I feel if a family wants to put everything thing own into running for office they should be allowed, especially when the other side can raise record amounts. It's a candidates future and he and his family should be able to invest all they want into it.
Every other job in the US people can invest as much as they want into their future (college, grad school, moves to other parts of the country with better employment, etc) the leader of this country should not be any different.
It's like if Bill Gates wanted to run and spend every penny he had into getting elected (which I would then suggest he needed great amounts of pschiatric help) then he should be able to.
I also don't believe by doing this a family will ever buy themselves into the WH.
Now I do agree Corporations and private citizens should be limited. I also believe that allowing people to go to more than 1 huge money fundraiser should be illegal.
