Agreed, but again, my issue is not at companies buying influence, but politicians selling it. The companies would be dumb not to, as there will be someone else who will. Politicians are put there specifically to govern this, and instead are selling influence. There is no accountability for them. |

Politicians listen to lobbyists, who are funded by those with the most resources and time, because they’re the ones actively communicating with the politicians.
The ones with the resources and time to hire these lobbyists are not the lower, middle, or even upper-middle incomes who normally don’t have time to do it themselves nor the money to hire.
If you don’t want politicians to listen to the graft, then consider the market-driven source of the problem.
Pinning it on the politicians sweeps the root cause under the rug.
