American minds - we all think alike.
Great. Just Great.
An additional army of lobbyists with their hands in our pockets, buying even more congress critters with our money. It just never ends, does it?
Originally, lobbyists were just representatives of corporations who bribed elected officials.
When the public outcry started, the government simply gave corporations legal standing as ‘citizens’, and also allowed the real citizens to enter the game by creating PACS who hire lobbyists to bribe government officials.
Now we are all equal. Private citizens and corporations. Except for the part where corporations have to be financially responsible for their actions.
