Taxes for access... the American Way
I think we should take the buying Congress and Presidency to the logical conclusion... paid access. It would be quite simple.
For every dollar a person or corporation paid in taxes, you get a lottery ticket for an hour of your representatives time. If you win, you can use your hour in any way you see fit. The hour would be exclusive to the winning ticket holder.
All of the time of the elected representative would be scheduled in this manner, with exceptions only for private and governmental use.
A strict log of all correspondence, email, phone calls, and meetings would be required to be made public exactly 1 year later.
This draconian, reactionist approach would rapidly fix many problems with the system.
