I mean, this is an election for President of the United States: a country of over 300,000,000 people and an economy that each year produces almost USD$17,000,000,0000,0000. The winner will be president of the US for 4 years, during which time he will substantially affect how that income is distributed. The total spent on the election campaign is not likely to hit even USD$5,000,000,000 - peanuts, really, in the scale of things. If money really mattered that much, you would have had campaign expenditures of 10 or even 100 times the present size.
