Making it illegal will just push the issue under the carpet, as it's happening everywhere in the world.<p>What needs to happen is a decentralisation of power and a return to voluntary transactions (no: give us your money for $goodreasons or you go to jail, yes: donate to charities for $goodreasons), so that there's more people with power and with far less power: if they were to be corrupted the effects would be much more contained and local.
