In the U.S. a citizen may give $2,700 per election to a federal candidate, $5,000 per year to a PAC, $10,000 per year to a State or local party committee and $33,400 per year to a national party. Citizens and corporations may give unlimited amounts to a Super PAC. A Super PAC is freed from traditional campaign finance laws as long as it does not fund a candidate or campaign or coordinate directly with a campaign how to spend donations.

Yes and no. What people do with their earned money is their business but maybe putting a cap on monthly/yearly donations.
There should be a limit to how much a candidate is able to receive.
@8QTW592New Democratic4yrs4Y
People should be able to give as much money as they want but there are people that almost never receive any money so maybe there is a point when the money needs to be split with another candidate once it reaches a certain amount of money
@8QP6S2C4yrs4Y
There should be a cap for the amount of money candidates can use
@8PXL3BFNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Yes, democracy is not a popularity contest.
@98PN6J92yrs2Y
yes, capping at 10 thousand dollars
@96JJRBT3yrs3Y
Yes, and they should not be able to receive any money from donors.
I don't think it matters on the amount of money a candidate receives from a donor. That is, I believe, the donors' decision.
@8VR933S4yrs4Y
Limit donor spending and ban corporate donations.
