'lobbying' just means individuals or groups speaking to their government reps. There's nothing wrong with it.
It's when there's a disproportionate power imbalance that we run into problems.
- xupybd 10y agoIsn't there disproportionate power there now? Large amounts of money can be used to employ full time lobbyists. These full time lobbyists mean you can pay for influence that the ordinary citizen would not have the resources to achieve.
- jomamaxx 10y agoYes, there is definitely a problem. But 'lobbying' itself is not the problem.
