the only way to destroy corporate influence on lobbying is to create the circumstances in which individuals would have more cash to lobby, a lot like the NRA and such
@Blood Hey, gotta feed my 35 ferrets.
@Extra Crispy and what if those groups develop more sinister intentions than the corps?
increasing corporate tax to the point that they have less money to afford with lobbying would be a part of that process
The ferrets keep stealing my fidget spinners.
how about.......NO LOBBYING
lmao if the NRA started becoming a real shitty group, then the people funding it would cease to fund it
lobbying only makes what would happen illegally anyway just legal for everyone
wait but you think the nra is not an example of lobbying groups? ever heard of weapons companies?
@Composers Read my PM, please.
the NRA is a lobbying group
Term limits.
No lobbying.
End government waste
its the most successful example of a lobbying group
@futurestorms sound good
Term limits must be enacted. Drain the fucking swamp
sounds good
@Blood So, drain the swamp. Because that's basically what that is.
yea
not to mention weapons corporations earn more from the civilian market than they ever could from the military, largely because of how we americans buy individual guns, and the military buys them cheaply in bulk
@Blood Trump said this. You are ok with that?
yes
the issue with corporations again falls back to corporations having more money to lobby than citizens
@Extra Crispy i mean it just sound like such an ineficient way to deal with the problem "the solution to lobbying is.....more lobbying!" how about no lobbying?
yes
and gov is just there for the people
are you telling me that the rich wouldn't lobby anyway regardless if it were legal or not?
true
that is the problem with, money = power
are you telling me that politicians wouldn't accept those free millions of dollars to 'just do this for us?'
money represents power, and removing money would just change how that power is represented
@CaptainDynamite @Juan Rico how much longer do you think you guys will stay on
until you go to sleep
uhhh
not much longer
whats up
@Extra Crispy yea, but it would remove in theory , just anybody being able to influence gov
if you removed money, then the power would simply be the people responsible for exchanging resources
