The Obama tie in was partly due to the fact that in my opinion it is very evident from looking at the way his campaign has raised money, that it embodies this concept, irrespective of if one agrees with his <strong>policies</strong>. The frustration that brought me to write this out after having thought it through for quite some time, stems from the current state of affairs in my country where any sort of economic competition is stymied to favor monopolistic businesses. And the sad part is that I know my people could do great things if given an opportunity to express their entrepreneurial tendencies. After all they are doing it in the US. Allison

A blank check or large sum of money from outside investors: I'm hard-pressed to know of a time where that has had any true lasting positive effect. But when you have citizen's putting up their own money, they have much more of a vested interest in success.
