WTF? Shocking, I know! But they don't go up to convention halls and offer them "12.5% of our total funds" for the hall, they offer, say, $20,000. Real money! Not percentages of total funds, which is why the "BUT THE PERCENTAGESS!!" argument is for the math-challenged.

What the parties choose to do with the money they have is pretty much up to them. We're talking about how much they get to start with. Conservatives can rely quite nicely on grassroots donations (credit to them) whereas the other parties cannot. Care to explain why the other parties cannot?
