I was trying to think of simple legal changes that would make America better for everyone.

The first one that comes to mind is: "Set corporate fines for ANYTHING to be minimum 150% of the money they profited from their lawbreaking, as assessed independently by the government".

Get rid of the concept as "fines as a cost of doing business" and turn them into actual deterrents.

This comes from Yet Another "Oopsie' from local chemical plants.

How about a tax on lobbying... any profit made from a change in law inspired by a lobbying entity would return 90% of that profit to the government.

@lednabm @EmilyGB2023 Lobbying should just be illegal from the get-go. And *all* profit should be forfeited.
