As long as Senator's, Congressmen, and other politicians have the ability to control large sums of money in the form of subsidies, tax breaks, and favorable regulation there will be someone that is willing to pay large sums of money to the campaigns of these politicians to gain advantage. Federal level politicians now control significant power over decisions that effect more than just the constitiuents in their home states and congressional districts which has nationalized the funding of campaigns. It is hard enough to keep track of what your Senators and Congressional representative are doing with your tax dollars, now you also have to try to keep track of what the leadership and commitee members of other states and districts are doing as well.
The best form of campaign finance reform would remove the national motivations by equalizing actual tax revenues spent per capita at the congressional district level and giving the direct control of how that money is spent to the congressman for that district. This would allow the constituents of each congressional district to have more direct control over how their federal tax money is spent and what it is spent on.
Fair taxation, fair distribution of revenue, and increased accountability of your representatives, that would be Campaign Finance Reform and so much more.
