This is a pretty typical uninformed position.  You hear all this stuff about the evil lobbyists, so you jump on that band wagon.  It's pretty clear you know nothing about what lobbyists actually do.

OK dude, nothing to see here, move along, there is no connection between lobbyists and political corruption, everything is just fine, I know nothing and the system works perfectly. :facepalm3:

Sarcasm is the lowest form of rhetoric.

My guess is you have never been a lobbyist nor known any lobbyists.  I'll bet you haven't even read the laws regulating the lobbying industry.

Why don't you explain for me exactly what you think it is that lobbyists do?

Why should I bother explaining to a lawyer what lobbyists do? I'm not here to explain anything to you, anyone with half a brain knows what the lobbying industry does. Your guess is just a guess and I don't really care what your guess is. I'll bet that as a lawyer you have learned to lie for a living, but thats just my guess.

I met a lobbyist for the US Mint, he was an agent of change.

“I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

I don't have to guess, bro.  I literally KNOW what lobbyists do.  I've been in the room when they do what they do.  Just like you think lawyers lie for a living, you think lobbyists bribe politicians.  Neither of those are legal, BTW.

You clearly are just talking out of your ass.

I don’t see Joe Biden’s name in that list. The people listed are not in politics. Can you explain why someone can’t receive payments from China? I mean, Donald Trump had a half billion dollar loan from the Chinese state bank and a bank account in China.

I never said you had to guess, bro. I'm sure you know full well what lobbyists do. I know professional lawyers who earn six figures who professionally lie for a living, I don't have to guess at that. Are you saying that no lobbyists have ever bribed a public offical to get laws passed? I never said it was legal either. Your grubby lawyer speak is showing dude. You're literally implying that corruption does not occur. Talk about eyes wide shut, typical lawyer.

I'm sure there are lobbyists who bribe, but it's likely very rare.  If you want to bribe a politician, why would you use a lobbyist to do it?  They are heavily regulated.  It's easy to send someone to bribe someone...why use someone who specifically is watched for such things?

So, you've avoided telling us what you think lobbyists do and instead think that some have, at some point, bribed a politician.

Saying that regulations stop corruption is like saying the police investigate themselves justly. Its just not actual factual dude. I don't have time to debate you on the fact that elected officals and lobbyists don't always play within the rules. Our leaders for the most part do not care about us, they do not have our best interests at heart. Who regulates the regulators? Who watches the watchers? Your faith in this system of supposed checks and balances is either misplaced or my guess is you are part of the problem.

you can, as a lobyist, spend a WHOLE lot of money in a politicians favor without it legally and technically being a bribe, it may still be bribery...

like what pelosi did wasnt technically insider illegal trading... but she still beat the market over and over and over.

Nothing unusual about a savvy trader consistently beating the market.  Several individuals have famously become billionaires for that particular skill set

You have no proof, and call me blind.  I offer easily verifiable counter-claims to your fabulism.
