Is too much spent on political campaigns in the United States?

According to Wikipedia 6.5 billion dollars was spent on all the political campaigns in a 2016 cycle.

During that same time 20 billion dollars was spent on ice cream in the United States. That’s right over three times as much was spent on ice cream in the same year as on all the political campaigns combined.

What I ask is that you add up all the money you spent on ice cream last year divided by 10 then send us that amount, to to help us win our campaign. We need to beat the big donors and special interests.

I know that the leaders of your country have much more of a profound impact on you then a pint of ice cream. I’m serious about this, we need political leaders like Joseph in the Bible. We need righteous men and women of God who will stand on principles from the Word of God.
