They’re all dirty fixers, ex-politicians and professional bribe makers. A few huge corporations run the government anyway. Burn it down

lobbying isn't the problem; the use of money in lobbying is the problem. We need a better system of lobbying that's out in the open.

Constitution dummy.
First Amendment.
The right to petition government for grievances.

That's lobbying.

Only anonymous donations should be legal. No quid pro quo then.

Right of an individual I agree. Right of an individual to pay another individual or organization to do so on their behalf I do not.

You got a problem with the govt, get up there yourself, pick up the phone and call your rep, type an email on your keyboard.

Agreed. And where in the constitution does it guarantee the right to lobby by foreign govt interests.

That shite needs to be outlawed post haste.
