The problem with current campaign financing is the perception (true or not) that the contribution buys the contributor influence with the politicians. End this system by not allowing politicians or political parties to accept campaign contributions.
All contributions would go directly to the
Federal Election Commission. This commission would collect all donations, group them together and send them on to the canidate. No receipt would be provided to the donor - so the donor cannot prove that he actually contributed. The Federal Election committe would be prohibited from disclosing the source of any contribution.
Another benifit is that there would not need to be a limit on any contribution - the donor could give any amount that they wished.
