Every business enterprise strives to reduce costs and/or increase profits within a given system. So if there is a loophole, this was created by the lobbyists. Scam is that the Congress allows the lobbyists to lead them by the nose fully aware that the lobbyists are owned by corporations. Heck, even countries have lobbyists.
Yes Rajoo and isn't it strange that lobbying is allegedly justified by the 1st amendment and the word 'people' in that amendment pertains to the 'we the people' in the preamble i.e., citizens not foreign countries. Lobbyists representing foreign countries are guilty of treason.
