Virtually everything requires some source of funding and politics is
one of these things. In order for a politician to have a chance at
success in any race he/she needs money. As a result there is no
shortage of organizations willing to "give" politicians money for
their campaigns and in most cases these donations aren't out of
altruism. Consequently politicians might feel indebted to these
people/organizations and end up making crucial decisions based on that
rather than the greater good. This could be the source for many
problems such as, the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer.
So should there be measures to monitor and/or prevent
such "arrangements" from being made?

We, as the voters, are the monitors that prevent politicians who would feel indebted to an organization or person from making cruicial decisions based on their guilt rather than the greater good.If they are not voting in the publics interest they will not be re-elected.
I think there should be measures taken, but it would be hard to do which might be why nothing has happened about it yet. maybe people just dont even notice or care since it doesnt affect them personally. the politician that can get the most money will probably end up getting the most support and therefore win the campaign. thats not fair because essentially that means they are buying their way in. its not fair, but its the american way of doing things it seems.
