I've been told by people that have been involved with lobbying that it's way cheaper than you'd expect. Almost a million in the right congressional races can buy you a lot of stalling in congress.
Also, IMHO, few people have messed up US tax policy like Grover Norquist. Even if you don't agree with that particular humble opinion, he is, at the very least, a figure with his own agenda to push. He's far from an unbiased source.

Almost a million in the right congressional races can buy you a lot of stalling in congress. My take on this remains what it's been for decades (offensive words, but I'm not sure what would fit better) : "I'm not surprised that politicians are whores. I'm horribly disappointed that they're cheap sleazy whores."
