When government is out to regulate you, your business or your industry into the de-facto status of a public utility, or government is looking at your bank accounts as more worthy of a tax increase (even a de-facto tax increase) simply because of the size of your account balances compared to others, then how is it not your right to try to promote individuals who may reduce government’s antagonisms toward you?
It’s not.
If we don’t like “lobbying” then we need to help get the government out of two businesses = (1) micro-regulating everything and (2) using taxes to micro-manage (believing it is micro-managing) specific areas of the economy and redistributing the tax burden in favor of some.
Otherwise, we have no right to complain about money spent by anyone trying to make a better outcome for themselves (and their employees and stock holders) from the intrusive business of big government.
Some large corporations represent more individuals (employees and stockholders) than any of the members of the House of Representatives and many Senators.

I agree! I'm thinking that the process has been corrupted by concentrating power in the few members of the 'Super Committee' and will in turn concentrate the lobbying and corruption. It's corruption when the lobbying is contrary to your interest.
