It is an idea, the problem is you'd need to trust the middle-men (the lobbyist and brokers). It isn't as simply as "the smallest piece of the pie the better," companies pay a lot of money for well-connected people who can get someone to sit down and talk. So while the public could pump tons of money into a GoLobbyForMe site, how you'd measure success Vs theft is tricky. Plus there's often other corruption less easily combatted, like post public-office jobs, or their spouse/family getting a seat on some board, or similar.
