Check out the quick read, “end legalized bribery” by Cecil Heftel written in like 1994. Ex congressman outta HI who was self made millionaire. He exposed Clinton and Gingrich, and the BS in DC.

The bulk of you here are clueless...clueless...about what you speak. That's fine, it's America....but you're clueless commenting on this. It's not all day lunches and bags of money and whores and things like that. Quit believing what you see in the movies.

The amounts of money spent on lobbying suggests differently.

So if he told me the average American has no idea how corrupt and sleazy DC is I shouldn’t trust him? He’s no longer in DC but he told me that when he was. Maybe you’re retarded?

Lol. Like corporations aren’t always taken into account when regulations are made. Especially in the post-Citizens United world.

Take any individual in America, and ask them what issues are important to then, what issues are they for, or against, and it is guaranteed there will be lobbyist representing it.

Lobbying isn’t the problem. Lobbying in the form of bribes is the problem.
