So do we need to pay the US President billions?
If there was a "pay $10 billion to get a law" corruption system in the US, all the big companies would spend that money. Nothing is more valuable
We don't need to reward politicians for not being terrible. Having a strong independent judiciary is good enough.
Sure, in the US there's super PACs and whatnot, but when the bribery is explicit enough, politicians go to jail.

Why risk jail when there are countless ways to be compensated and not get caught. Sure I agree with you. But that still leaves a pretty big hole in the system.
