Max donation of say 2K per person AND per business/corporation/organization to any one political candidate per year or per election cycle. That's it.

Actually this is a fair point. I've wrestled deeply with the citizen united ruling and of more recent seem to accept it as something forced. Money is speech at the end of the day and it doesn't seem right to arbitrarily limit how much people can spend/say during an election run up. Whilst laws can't be written to limit how much spending someone can do, laws can be written as to how the money can and cannot be used by the candidates. The thing to do is to get rid of SuperPacs entirely (they get a lot of tax benefits that increase their ability to do what they do) and have all donations go to a general pool that is distributed to all the candidates. That way you're not violating free speech by limiting spending; rather you're just changing what spending means. The reality is this is already kind of ongoing. Many corporations play both sides as it is giving large sums to both dems and republicans in the same race.Great idea, the hell with free political speech.
Perhaps I misunderstand what you're trying to say but that sounds an awful lot like the current rule on political contributions to candidates.Max donation of say 2K per person AND per business/corporation/organization to any one political candidate per year or per election cycle. That's it.
