From the 80s until the 90s Microsoft never lobbied the government, and they dominated. They got hauled in front of congress and were chastised for not lobbying, then a year later were hit with their infamous antitrust suit. The government bullied Microsoft into paying them off - just like the damned Mafia, except it's legal. Now we see Microsoft begging the government to basically do this AGAIN. It's sick, corrupt and a perversion of capitalism and democracy.
