Changing the rules is only a temporary fix. Capitalism is an evolutionary force that selects for the most profitable business practices. Anyone who finds a way to buy influence under the new rules will outcompete those who don't. New rules to keep money out of politics are like new antibiotics: they're temporarily effective until evolution finds a way.
Centralized democracy is fundamentally vulnerable to capture by capital. There is no way around it but decentralization.
