Honest question as I've never given this any thought;
Would publicly-funded elections be any better?
Or rather:
What alternative is better than our current system, which has obviously become extraordinarily corrupt?
Assuming publicly funded elections are a viable alternative (the gov gives each candidate the same amount of taxpayer dollars to campaign) HOW would that system be open to corruption & what can we do to stave that off?

Every candidate gets x amount of public money. The same amount. No private money. No donations.
