Confidential Contributions

To avoid First Amendment issues and the influence of money in politics, have we looked into a system that requires contributions to be confidential?  The contributions go into the candidate's account which is overseen by a neutral.  The neutral would be prohibited from disclosing the names of the contributors.  A zillion schemes could be devised to effectuate this.
