Dom's numbers seem a bit strange. If, for argument's sake, we assume a doctor makes 100K a year, paying 14.5% a year over a 40-year career builds a pension pot of some 1.125 million (assume 3% return, granted a bit low). At 68k per year, the doctor's pension will go more than 17 years on his own money before getting a single penny from the taxpayer.

How about this law: All ads, flyers, mailers or other communication paid for, in whole or in part, by money from outside the election district must include the words "Paid for by money from outside of our election district"
