Just because we have invented different names for it like lobbying, doesn't make processes less corrupt.
- sosborn 11y agoPlease explain why you think lobbying = corruption. Lobbyists can certainly be corrupt, but there is nothing inherent to lobbying that equates to corruption.
- nekopa 11y agoI think lobbying equals corruption because although the definition of lobby is "the act of attempting to influence decisions made by officials in a government, most often legislators or members of regulatory agencies." the reality is to do this for special interest groups, and to use whatever means necessary. I get that to look at lobbying in a pedantic way there is no way it could be corrupt. And of course, there are white knight lobbyists who are trying to ofset the damage done by lobbyists whose clients are seeking change to increase profits. But on the whole (in the USA) lobbying stinks of legitimised corruption.
