(+) Yeah! (+)

Make it law that 35% of all lobbying revenue has to go into a public good trust. Healthcare, old age care, pension, disability benefits, veteran benefits, etc. Stuff that bring in no revenue and is a service to the public, not a commodity.

An addendum to this would be that 12% of the military budget is spent on the IRS so that they may be better equipt to take on large firms with rabid lawyers who make it not cost effective to persue otherwise. As the VA is covered in the public good this can be folded out of the military spending towards the 12%.

Income from such seizures are also put into the public good at the ratio of 85% to the public good and 15% to the team who found, persude, and punished the offending tax dodgers. This is in the form of a non taxable bonus. This would discourage regulatory capture.

Also, when politicians are caught doing something corrupt resulting in American loss of life, they have to get roshamboed on live television by the field kicker (or whatever the kicky guy is in food ball) for the winning NFL team of that year.

We can also solve it by not locking it into two parties.

This doesn't fix anything. They'll just start getting more free vacations that they won't disclose.

You have no idea if 12% of the budget would be enough for it. Wouldn't a better idea just be to make very rich people & companies compelled to pay for their own audits?

I have a different idea on how to fix tax dodging that I'll post about later.

In China they would just be executed.
