This makes no sense.  There is no other profession on earth where you get better quality people by paying less.  

Right now the system is about buying elections.  If that is not fixed then it doesn't matter how often they turnover. We are still going to have people get elected based on money.

Take the money out of the system and the two party system will not be in control.  Take the money out of the system and elected officials will not be owned by the people who pay for their elections.  term limits does nothting to fix these problems.

And what happens if you finally do find a great politician?  Why kick him out of office based on term limits?
