Awwwk! This is another reason products in the US are so high along with lobbyists.
We need to block lobbyists from Washington DC, and we need to limit campaign donations to individuals only.
John McCain, is that you?

Campaign donations should at least be made by humans. Corporations don’t qualify.
Pardon me, but why do you think that?
Corporations -- large and small -- have a huge stake in what government does. An inconsequential regulation can literally ruin a company (and the individuals who own it). Don't they have a right to self-defense?
Or, to the contrary, an otherwise inconsequential regulation can make other corporations (and the individuals who own them) wildly successful. Have they no right to pursue this success, when it is in the government's hands to offer?
If you want to get corporate lobbyists and money out of politics, there is only one way to do so: Take the power of corporate life or death out of Congress' hands. In the meantime, try to understand that Congress has the power to extort and corporations are compelled to defend themselves.
