Instead, why not ban politcal contributions of more than $500 from everyone? This would include business lobbies and other organizations, including unions. Make it easy for congressmen to say " I am beholden to no one". So now we await another round of congessional guilt tripping which will add more regulations AND COSTS to the process of buying a home.

Little did I know that my father would end up at loggerheads with the "public relations" (i.e., lobbying) department of the large regional law firm employing me at the time. Since my father's fight to keep his home was "inconsistent with the firm philosophy" of lobbying for predatory lenders, I had to leave that firm. Since then, their former managing partner has ignored a congressional subpoena and faces contempt of congress charges. Moral: even lawyers are supposed to have ethics, and eventually the truth will prevail. Unfortunately, the unethical often drag down others before everything shakes out.
