Well yes, you need to ask representatives of the people that will be impacted by a law what the impact will be, assess expert opinions, etc. Lobbying isn't only the American political bribery system, there's legitimate reasons behind it.
Of course! And that those with the deepest pockets are able to afford to have the most convincing folks spend the most time waiting for an opening in the various Representatives calendars is not surprising, and only natural.
That it often results in them getting an equivalent mindshare (or more) of the Representatives views is also not surprising, and only natural.
It doesn't inspire warm fuzzies in those too busy working to survive though.
