A democracy is rule by the people. We're living in the era of a government by the corporations, for the corporations.
I honestly cannot understand how companies have any representation or access to politicians. The closest access to the system should be persuading their own employees to vote favorably or write their congressman. Lobbying should be entirely illegal because we are on track to making Idiocracy a reality.

- twblalock 8y agoSo, if you are a citizen you should have access to politicians, but if you start a company or get promoted to an executive position you suddenly get that access revoked? It would be pretty difficult to restrict lobbying without running into problems with the First Amendment. Most people who complain about corporate lobbying don't seem to mind when the EFF or the ACLU engages in lobbying, which indicates to me that they are really against corporate power, not lobbying per se.
