Interesting (and tempting) idea, but what that does is guarantee that only rich or well-funded people can run for office, in which case it will be even worse than today.

Cantor rejected a bill to stop their insider trading. Boehner has blocked most bills based on sanity, and brought some truly terrible stuff out of committees, and we look to “Sunny” Boehner for progress, or Cantor?

Maybe a sliding scale, the rich are paid $1 and the smaller the other incomes, the greater the pay for survival.
