> You're not going to get money out of politics
lolwut.
of course you can remove money from politics. reform campaign finance and you have removed the largest part of private entities transferring money into politics. why would politicians have a reason to back private interests if they are not providing them money to get re-elected? they wouldn't since there is no direct benefit for them protecting their interests and any backhand, behind the counter deals would be seen as a breach of public service and would cost them their jobs and credibility.
term limits does nothing to fix the problem of corrupt politicians, it just brings the same amount into the system within a shorter time period. when the baby boomers start to die off is when we have a different set of politicans coming in. change the money flow to these new campaigns and you remove the desire for these soon-to-be politicians to reach out to the private entities for their support.

europe does not have a campaign finance disaster like we do, public funds are not the primary use for campaigns there either.
