Those who use donated funds don't care...they don't have to pay for it.
Perks and power do have a limit. Just curious how others see this approach to gain a political office.

Simple; because it's necessary to win. Many politicians, after they have left office and if they have a high enough profile, earn mega money with speaking engagements or "consulting" fees or lobbying efforts and book deals. Not unusual for them to become fabulously wealthy afterwards. Ask Bill Clinton, he knows what I'm talking about.
