And lobbying makes sure they won't.

Don’t blame lobbying, blame a lack of decent humans in a position of power. How much lack of function do you need to take orders from a lobbyist as a representative?

Are we electing people? Or puppets? Mostly rhetorical.

"don't blame them, they were tempted with bribes!" is to use the younger generations terms, cope. It wasn't that these were upstanding people lead down the wrong path, they were corrupt from the start.
