   I don’t really understand the “mechanics” of wealthy people’s political fund contributions. I searched and found limits such as $2500 an individual may give to a specific candidate which puzzles me as I hear about fund raising dinners that charge like $10,000 a plate and such. Even with “Pacs” and such it seems like one can at very most go to $117K total which seems far less what is talked about at times.  I’m really not trying to pick on J. Edwards here but just to reference a dollar amount didn’t one person give a million dollars? (Found not to be a political contribution but still transferred)
