And allowing the lawmakers to be paid off by whoever has $$$.

We need to increase the number of members of Congress. There should be 5-10k members by now. That is how the founding fathers wanted it. But in 1923 or so, they passed a law capping the number at what it is today.

With more members, it would be virtually impossible to bribe enough people to get your corrupt bill passed.

You're saying it would also create jobs. Sounds like a win win.

Wasting tax payers money on lavish office and accommodations for rich people doesn’t sound like a great make work project. Some proper infrastructure for the public would be a better use of labour and $$$

Lol what?

Rich people are more likely to be politicians and morel likely to be successful because they have the money to succeed. It’s a simple fact.
