I totally agree with the first part of your comment.

I want to add that there's a real possibility that legislation to address this (totally legitimate) issue goes too far and makes it even harder for non-wealthy people to run for public office - I think it's unreasonable for a new congressperson who owns a home and a small amount of an S&P index fund to have to set up a blind trust for their partner's uncle.
