The U.S. government is participatory. It will respond to citizen wishes, but only if citizens actively and continuously make their wishes known. It is an opportunity cost for industries to be spending their money on lobbying instead of spending their money on R&D that will benefit society. Industries or citizens should not have to be constantly talking to representative in Washington to make sure that they will not do anything wrong when they're not looking. The U.S. government may be participatory but only the one that shouts the loudest get heard.
