What if... we said that anyone running for US Congress had to have a net worth of less than $1M?

 

Yes I know, its not a practical idea, and I wouldn't even want to do it.

 

But here is the discussion... what would the result of that be? How would that change things? What would elections, and Congress, be like?

 

The people getting elected would on average stay in Congress for less time and would leave more rapidly for lobbying/industry positions after establishing the connections/selling out to some company enough to guarantee a high paying job after departure.
