Does it? Generally speaking, you make money with money, right? So even if playing "fairly", it would seem the 1% will still get far more rich far faster than anyone else. Lobbying only slows that down some, if at all.

Don't get me wrong, I think Lobbying in its current form is disgusting. Yet, directly I don't blame it for the wealth gap.

I suppose you could argue that lawmakers might have a chance at proposing solutions if not for lobbying, so by taking lobbying away you eventually, somehow, fix the problem. Even with that said, I'm still more curious to talk about possible solutions to the problem directly, rather than hoping to foster an environment where someone else will fix the problem.
