"Dean said for every $100 that someone donates to a presidential campaign, the government should match it with $500 and give the donor a $100 tax credit. He said the government should raise spending limits in the primary elections and increase the incentive for candidates to stay within the public financing system. "

1. Hmmmm

Limit individual contributions but increase tax payer dollars!

I dont like it at all! I must say that the more I hear from Dean, the less I like him. And I dont want one dollar of anyones taxes going to any candidate!

That is not what taxes are for

2. I'm sorry, but this is about issues and must be shut down.

It's not part of the "Dean's a drunken Hitleresque lunatic who is constantly reinventing himself" script.

3. So he wants to take more tax money to fund campaigns?

Umm no
