Certainly if a candidates wants to self-finance a run for office that's his or her right -- the problem arises when that is the only avenue for candidates to seek office without soliciting big contributions. With public financing candidates who don't want to take big money, and who aren't wealthy enough to self-finance, also have a way to be competitive.

A lot has been said about individuals using their own money to run for office. I personnally see nothing wrong in a person spending his own money to run for office. That way, the public does not have to support his election and he is not beholden to the big money people.
