Again, I'm not so concerned about "buying" a congressman in terms of corrupting the person so that they begin voting the way you want to.
The "buying" I'm talking about is the power to make sure that a candidate can't get they're message out without your support. So even if no person sacrifices their ideals only the ones with massive corporate support can get there message out effectively and thus only they will generally get elected.
And that form of "buying" is only aided by adding more congressmen to the equation. At least until such time as the pool is so increased that a candidate can efficiently campaign through face-to-face, door-to-door communication and need not rely on mass distribution.
