It goes something like this: corporations hire lobbyists, lobbyists write bills and hire former gov officials and judges to go over the proposed bills and catch any flaws in them. Then they lobby the current, elected officials and bribe them to sponsor the bills and put their names on them. Finally, they lobby the rest of the Congress to vote for the bill. And if they fail, they wait for a while, modify few things, get new politicians to sponsor them and the cycle repeats until they get what they want. Corporate lobbying is nothing more than legalized corruption. Even Eric Schmidt, former Google CEO and Chairman had this to say on the topic: >"The average American doesn't realize how much of the laws are written by lobbyists" to protect incumbent interests, Google CEO Eric Schmidt told Atlantic editor James Bennet at the Washington Ideas Forum. "It's shocking how the system actually works." https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2010/10/googles-ceo-the-laws-are-written-by-lobbyists/63908/ https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2010/10/googl...
