Senator Barack Obama has been taking a lot of heat over the last few days because he has backed out of a deal that he made with Senator McCain that both of their campaigns would be financed with public funds.
All the while I have sitting back incredulous that people are actually deriding him for not using our taxes to fund his campaign, instead choosing to finance it privately.
Of course, being a Libertarian, I am extremely biased against the idea of using tax money to finance political campaigns. Whenever it's been available, Libertarian candidates reject the use of public monies to finance their campaigns.
But to hear people who are actually upset about this completely blows my mind!
