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.

@8NJHVPY5yrs5Y
All donations should divided equally amongst all candidates of any party. This should be the only budget for everyone's campaign. This will even the playing field and ensure the best candidate can truly win.

Yes, so politicians can not be bribed and bought by wealthy donors, but it should also depend on what the money is going towards.
