Since saturated solutions are equilibriums....

Since saturated solutions are equilibriums, why does adding more salt into the solution not increase the amount of dissolved salt? Le Chatelier's principle state that if there is a change in a equilibrium, the equilibrium moves to counteract the change. I know my statement is wrong but I don't know why because it fits with the principle fine (I think).

Activity of the solid is always 1, it doesn't depend on the solid amount.
