Lobbying, and publicly traded companies, were both a colossal fucking mistake. We elect these people to be the voice for us, but they only act in their own interest, while a ton of money is flowing directly into their "donations" pocket

Lobbyists weren't legal until Reagan.

And that's when the United States' train ride to corporate authoritarianism went into high gear.
