Why is it legal for completely unrelated laws to be tacked on to bills? In most countries this would be called corruption.

I wish that was true. In the EU, in a meeting of agricultural ministers, a clause about software patents (I think) was once added to an otherwise agricultural bill, and it would have passed if Poland hadn't blocked it.
Sneaky trickery like that can happen everywhere, unfortunately (though it does seem to be a lot more common in the US).
