Corporate Lobbyists

This is the main thing that is wrong with our government -- lobbyists have too much power. It has gotten so bad that almost no politician will take a stand until they learn what stand the corporate lobbyists want them to take. And while politicians are elected by the people, their true allegiance is to the corporations (because they can always use religion and lies to fool the people into voting for them again). The politicians don't even have to know how to write a law anymore -- the corporate lobbyists are very willing to write those laws for them.
