The problem really isn't term limits. It's the cost of elections.
If we set 2 term limits, it would just mean that the corporate elite would just buy a new politician every 2 terms rather than buying a politician for 6 or more terms.
If you wanted to run for a political office. You'd need money. So who has money? And now you are beholden to the wealthy.
It's amazing when you think about it. We can no longer ever have a populist or independent president or congressman really. Because of the money needed to run for office.
