TBH, $10M per senator per year is only $1 billion/year - a rounding error for America. And when a senator has F-U money, there is little incentive for him to take dirty money (true sociopaths will take both, of course).

How do we select for normal, non-sociopath humanoids for political office?

[geoffpado]

Random selection. It's like jury duty, but longer!

To me this seems to be no worse and possibly more efficient than our current system.

I would argue significantly better than our current system. It would allow more diversity as well as bring knowledge about government back into communities.
