Getting corporate money out of politics would be nice, but it doesn't solve the problem of the corporate-government carousel, or the ability for the elite to make politicians rich through insider trading and faux book deals. The solution is to cap earnings, limit campaign donations to personal donations that are capped at a set amount (like 5% of yearly income), and give people the ability to give a vote of no-confidence to politicians in power.

"What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the lie? I, who was born in a naked land and bred in the open sky. The subtle tongue, the sophist guile, they fail when the broadswords sing; Rush in and die, dogs - I was a man before I was a king."
