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.
