Why don't we just be honest about political power in this country - auction it openly. |

Just give the power to run the country over to the highest bidder in public auctions.
Think about it, the only thing we'd have to change is the "public" part. Should be simple.
Yes, that was a sarcastic rant.
On Edit: - actually, that might solve our debt/deficit problem.

1. Actually, that's not even sarcasm, since it's exactly what's going on |

Very sad state our country is in. The Constitution has been turned into a book of comedy.

4. Well, it isn't exactly "public auction". They get away with way too much under the table. |
