Most politicians are corrupt. They think it's normal.

You may be right. If you are, the fault lies with the legislators,
not the lobbyists.

In real life, lobbyists are important. They are the experts on
pending legislation, not the legislators.

Who do YOU want composing the tariff laws on imported, hydrogenated,
yak-fat: the Yak Breeders Association, the legislators or (God
forbid) the regulators?

I want independent experts. Not "experts" with an axe to grind or paid
by manufacturers or other commercial groups. That's how you ended up
in Iraq. Or didn't you realise this?

You say we ended up in Iraq like that was a bad thing.
