Correct - but you CAN get corporate lobbyists and industry lobbyists out of Washington.

Simply mandate that lobbying must be done on behalf of natural citizens and ONLY natural citizens, and limit the lobbying to be done on behalf of citizens with only a $ net worth or under.

If a billionaire complains about not being able to buy a couple senators, well, too fucking bad. I'd GLADLY give up my ability to corrupt government officials if you gave me a billion dollars.
