The criminal bribing a cop has broken the law by bribing a cop, whereas lobbying is perfectly legal (and justifiably protected as free speech), so there's a pretty big difference.
- crispyambulance 9y agoSure, lobbying is legal. I can see how, for instance, it can be helpful and needed to inform politicians about complex issues faced by corporations. Unfortunately, lobbying is also easy to abuse when you have very powerful amoral and greedy entities use it and vast sums of money, directly or indirectly, to influence politicians against the interests of the people.
