What's your point? That is the system Leftists like you have created, our glorious corporatist system that splits the country into voting blocs then forces each group to lobby government for special treatment. If government were forced to treat all individuals and groups equally under the law, that is to say, if government were banned from giving any individual or group special treatment, lobbyists would vanish - along with their money.

business has little choice but to operate in the environment its in. this is the game, so they play it.

no different from paying the bribes required to grease the skids elsewhere in the world.

might as well be included in GAAP as cost of goods sold.
