Then if you don’t like what that candidate stands for, find another candidate to run. Our current elected officials and future candidates are not just causing a national problem, but destroying the state and local offices too. Many that are voicing their concerns about our elected officials will bring up different perks they get or want to force term limits. The perks are not the problem and even though a few years past I voted for term limits in California, I now think it is part of our problem. Again, it comes down to quality of the elected official and candidate. I would be ok with paying 10 fold for quality elected officials. We can speak of where we would like our government to chart its future course, but with out quality the best paths will fail. I am tired of voting for the best of the worst candidates.
