What if you were a billionaire's friend? Would it be fair to ask you to turn down gifts just because you held a high office, even though you weren't influenced by those gifts at all? That kind of policy just discourages very talented people who also happen to be friends of billionaires from serving in high offices, which is a loss for all of us.

Alternately, what if you were a billionaire? Shouldn't you have the right to give your money to whomever you like without damaging their careers? After all, you'd have way too much money to spend it yourself! Should the money just go wasted by not being spent?
