[QUOTE="rambot, post: 75420909, member: 145797"] What an quaint mindset but simply put. IT is demonstrably wrong. [URL="https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2015/04/how-corporate-lobbyists-conquered-american-democracy/390822/"]How Corporate Lobbyists Conquered American Democracy[/URL] I'm going to try to find this shockingly brilliant data analysis that CLEARLY shows that the affect of the opinion of lobbyists had a GREATER affect on the outcome of a bill's success, than the will of the people being governed. It was one of the most beautiful data set analysis I've seen as it was so simple but so clearly demonstrated hte problem. I'm hoping I can find it back. But just for your reading's sake: [URL="https://www.jstor.org/stable/23053277?seq=1"]The Influence of Lobbying Activity in State Legislatures: Evidence from Wisconsin on JSTOR[/URL] Here's a paper that shows that lobbying is most effective with issues that are not in the public eye. Isn't it interesting that the more the public knows about an issue the less effective lobbying becomes? But sure, corporate lobbyists don't control politicians. Dag nabbit! I don't have enough time to find it. And sadly, I can't remember where I saw it lsat (though I am 99% sure I saw it here on CF at least once, a while ago). [/QUOTE]
