Let me ask you a quick question. If every year we pay income tax and every year the same question about contributing $3 dollars to Presidental Election is on there and you have people contributing to that fund every year. But we only have an election for a president every four years. What do you think they do with the money? Do you think they give it back to the taxpayers? Or save it all until there is another presidential election? Well the answer is save until there is an election and give to the candidates that decide to take public financing like McCain-Palin did. Then start the contribution all over again after the election over to collect money for the presidential election.

Campaign expenses prior to that time were expended by either the McCain campaign or the Republican National Committee which accept private contributions.

McCain-Palin has public financing if you ever filled out a Form 1040 there is a question below your personal information that ask check here You or spouse if you want to contribute $3 to Presidental Election Campaign. Sure McCain-Palin may have some private voluntary contribution but they get most of their money from people that check the box to have $3 of their money to go towards Presidental Election Campaign fund. Flaps I subject you take a look at your 1040 form the next time you pay taxes.
