Lobbyists represent big businesses and by contributing to "election campaigns" infuence the politicans to pass laws (or prevent laws from being passed) that help the business, but often hurt you and I. It doesn't matter which party, Democrat or Republican. This is why we have preditory lending, payday loans, illegal immigration, eminant domain, unfair banking and credit card practices, trading imbalances with China, bad environmental laws etc.
Should lobbying be disallowed?
