Hmmm..., I wonder if there's a solution out there?
Simple: Campaign finance reform.
Didn't we try that already?

Do you think The Rich and Major Corporations have gained more power over our government during the last 30 years? What would you support your view with?
The cost of campaigns. Where do you think the money's coming from? They have all that extra money because of lower tax rates and want to keep the gravy train going. SUPPORT PUBLIC FINANCING OF ELECTIONS. It'll cost us less in the long run.
Public financing of elections is a very bad idea. You may as well just elect all politicians to a life time term because that will be the result of publicly funded elections.
What we should do in order to dilute the interests of lobbyists and give the people more representation is to increase the number of representative in the House.

By control I assume you mean regulation and influence upon creation of it.
Perhaps they have, but it pales in comparison to the mountains of populist 'greater good' regulation added each day which is choking the life out of America.
I just saw on O'Reilly tonight that all hotel swimming pools are going to be required to install permanent wheelchair submersion lifts to comply with ADA. Many will of course close the pools.

Some have some haven't. What we've seen over the thirty years (more really) isn't so much wealth gaining power over government, but a merging of political and economic power. Regardless, there's no denying that some corporations and wealthy interests have learned that manipulating government policy produces more dependable profits than satisfying the needs of consumers.
