Companies should not be able to donate to politicians and only their constituents should be. Nothing will ever change my mind about that.

The ignorance here never surprises me. It’s already illegal for companies to contribute directly to candidates in federal elections.

Make that the law, establish term limits and pay Congress more for the service.
The latter sounds nuts, but how can you expect intelligent, civil minded citizens, who have businesses to run, practices to maintain, or just have a good career in an industry, to make the commitment to leave their trade, run of office and upon victory establish a second residence in one of the most expensive cities in the nation.
But consider this, a house rep is figuratively speaking, on the board of directors of the largest company in the world. You have to pay them for taking on that challenge.
