They can, and they do, but it's worth limiting the extent to which they do because it gives a disproportionate amount of influence to the wealthy, the hyper-partisan, and special interest groups.
Also, I softened my post before you edited it, but the false dichotomy is "fund themselves or leech of taxpayers". Either repeal the per-vote funding, or they are leeches. No other options?
Now your turn: is peter12 misunderstanding Harper's 2004 letter? I want corroboration from a conservative.
