What would happen if only voters - not unions or businesses - could donate to political parties? A plan to do exactly that exists, if the government wants to try it.
$30k is a lot of money. No one should donate more than the lowest working person could afford. So maybe 1% of $13k. That would make things fair. Politicians could then fight to raise minimum wage so they could get more money.

Personally I would like to see all campaigns publically funded, no donations allowed. But I recognise there are some detail devils in there.
But a $30k cap is a good start when the bulk of donated money comes from donations much larger.
