This sounds similar as to installing surveillance cameras everywhere, inside every person's house-- completely violating everyone's privacy to prevent criminality. Or at least with that excuse. I am not entirely certain, but just as I do not believe that residing in the year 1984 would eliminate criminality, I also hold the view that "banning donations" would not necessarily deter lobbying.
