The money cannot be eliminated. The more the government tries, the more new ways will be developed to channel it.
Far better would be to lift all restrictions on money, but demand complete transparency: No anonymous donations and donor lists published and part of the public record.

While I do have some sympathy for your point of view, I've got to say that I don't like the idea of influence going to the highest bidder. If there are no limits, that's exactly what you wind up with.
