Absolutely noone points their finger at the correct culprit......Washington is run by lobbyists, not the people.

The culprit IS POLITICIANS, not lobbyists.

It's the pols in Washington that allow themselves to be co-opted by the lobby industry.

It's not like the lobbyists are FORCING them to take the handouts and cast their vote for their interests, not ours.

The pols are 100% culpable and deserve to be sent packing.

Lobbyists ARE the people.

Reduce the dependence on government, literally and emotionally, and you reduce the size of gov......and the lobbyists will dwindle with it.
