So in short, politicians instead of receiving input from lobbyists, receive verbatim draft legislation proposals and get to play 'who's gonna pay me more to choose which one I'm going with'? They then use the money they receive from these lobbyists to lie to the people regarding what their job actually entails and self promote themselves as serving their community and country? Oh and they get to play in the stock market with insider knowledge with impunity to further enrich themselves and get a path to become a lobbyist and get paid millions afterwards? What point are you trying to make - that there is a convoluted game of politics they engage in to enrich themselves, rather than the simplified bag of money exchanging hands? If so, you're describing a distinction without a difference as far as I can tell.
