#6 There's one reason they don't like term limits. Who's going to donate if you can't run again?

Term limits. Donations capped at $200 / person / year. No PACs. No corporate money. Any "war chest" remainder goes to pay down the national debt. lifetime ban on revolving door lobbyist jobs. Skip-a-generation rule to prevent political dynasties. No paid speeches. No book deals.
