Heh! The protest is well-covered here. I saw a "man on the street"
interview with one of the protesters. The sign-carrying marcher
was a 23-year old recent college graduate whose main complaint was
he couldn't find a job.

"What was your college major?" asked the interviewer.

"I don't see how that's relevant," replied the protester.

It is not relevant. Anyone with a degree in Greek literature from
4200BC to 4100BC should be able to find the job of his dreams. Those
oppressive capitalists are just not giving him a chance.

LOL. Indeed. His verbal skills should have landed him a lobbyists'
job
long ago ...

You need more than verbal skills to be a successful lobbyist. *You
need a total vacuum where your morals should be.

Lobbyists get a bad rap; they are absolutely necessary to a functioning
government.

In sum, lobbyists provide FREE expert advice on pending legislation. Would
you want your local congress-critter to vote for the rail tariff on
hydrogenated yak-fat? Hell, he probably doesn't even know what a yak is, let
alone what the fifty-cents per hdwt tariff would do to the struggling
yak-fat business.- Hide quoted text -

Yes, do the people who shout "no more lobbyists" even know that the
UAW, teachers union, and trial lawers all have lobbyists too? Or do
they just want to get rid of "those other lobbyists"? And if this
group thinks all CEO's are evil, do they also think that about CEO's
like Oprah, Steve Jobs, and any left-leaning hollywood actor getting
10-20 million for one movie who happens to want to start their own
studio?
