   Well, excuse an effin furrener for not being able to keep track of all the corruption going on in the US of A. But I *DO* know, that at least in some states, there was attempts to put a limit to the bribes.

   Like e.g. this:

"County residents, frustrated by money's influence on politics, set the $200 cap by a vote in 1990. Since then, use of the corporation loophole in campaign financing has become a familiar phenomenon in Sarasota County."

   Yeah, well, good luck with your rampant corruption, that probably will not end well, unless you at least first cap all donations, and secondly get rid of that corruption capitol of yours, the senate, that has not contributed anything positive to your country for more than a century.
