The money problem of politics really is a complex one that should be addressed, but there is little interest in REALLY digging in because there are a lot of skeletons there. 

Yeah well, to me the American system is open bribery. There's sure a lot of complexity that goes into it, but in principle, that's what it is. From my perspective.

And I don't believe term limits do anytrhing good in that regard. I see your point, but I'd counter that unknown new politicians are probably still more desperate for money and you'd run in danger of constantly leading the hungriest of sheep to the feeding site.
