Raising Limits on Individual Contributions

Individual contributions are the contributions made by people or corps to political campaigns. Over the years the limit has been raised. Proponents of raising the limits on individual contributions argue that spending money is a freedom of speech issue and therefore the restrictions should be loosened or even eliminated. Opponents of the raise say that by letting individuals spend more money on campaign contributions, politicians votes can essentially be bought and those with more money would have more governmental pull that those with less money.
