Lobbying is actually not hard to stop at all. It msy be under our current structure, but its not hard to stop
Here are 3 rules that would stop lobbying overnight.
1- Make house of reps sole body to set tax law at federal lvl
2- tie reps in house to very specific, low pop counts. For ex, 1 rep district = 25,000. This would mean house would become gigantic.
3- randomize election outcomes. Swap winner of city treasurer with senate winner. Swap rep seat with state assemblyman. Every seat should have a high random chance of being swapped. If winner does not like position. We should even do this with presidency.
This solves federal level lobbying by taking (1) power into a (2) decentralized body and also (3) inserting downside for lobbyist.
