Candidates and Money
So I've been doing my own research on this topic. What I'm really interested in learning is:

(1) How each candidate has earned his/her livelihood and/or acquired his/her personal fortune. Any criticisms or scandals lurking here?

(2) How each candidate has used his/her personal resources. This isn't just about lavish lifestyles. It is also about causes, organizations and interests to which the candidate has financially contributed.

(3) How each candidate intends to fund the public treasury. Are they proposing to modify the source of tax revenues? If so, how? Are they proposing to add, delete or modify fee based income sources? How?

(4) How each candidate intends to utilize those funds in the public treasury. What causes, programs or organizations might be expected to gain or lose funding? Any new initiatives proposed that will require funding?

(5) What individuals and/or organizations have made significant contributions to the candidate's campaign efforts? Is this a first time contribution or is there a historical relationship?

This is my money test of character, priorities and loyalties. I'm not asking whether you agree with my money test. I am asking for your ***FACTUAL*** input.

I don't want arguments, opinions or flame bait. I want whatever information you can contribute regarding the candidates and money matters. Please be civil and polite to other participants.

Thanks.
