In America corruption is not labeled "corruption" . It is labeled "lobbyism" . It is a legal mean to purchase your politicians. Now it happens to be the telecom industry that historically has been the biggest spenders across industries until Google came along. If you want to fix the sad state of the American political system this is very you should start. Make all contributions over, let say, 100 usd illegal and all contributions should go on public record. I believe it really would be that simple.

Limiting the top amount is already in place in a number of states, and results in complicated legal bundling schemes where people host fundraisers where everyone in attendance signs a contribution card and is basically given the cash to turn back over signed under their name. There isn't an easy answer.
