> Who do you think is hiring the lobbyists to pay off the politicians? Again, it's not the hiring of the lobbyists that should be surprising, or where the effort and anger should be directed in my opinion. It should be toward the politicians that actually accept those payoffs. Of course an entity incentivized to maximize profit is going to lobby to improve its position. The elected representatives should behave in such a way that those lobbying efforts are wasted. Also the system should be organized so that it can't happen in the first place.
