do we have to choose between two extremes or can we balance in between, are we not smart enough to come up with a 21st century system or are we stuck with 19th century systems and/or even earlier style systems? capitalism,...socialism, how about something new!!!!

[snoop11080]

how can anyone expect obama to make things better when are country is ran like this

[philami1]

This one, I must admit, was very well done!

@MardiGrasMambos so no regulation. well they lobby because they want to make profit at the expense of the consumer. no regulation means no reigns. they have to lobby in order to make regulation as obsolete as possible. if there lobbying is bad then they must have bad intentions. why would you have no regulation on someone who is for profit with no concern for peoples well being?

[zelldot]

this is why cannabis is illegal

[StoneTemp1Pilot]

corruption is treason.

Why does the drug industry lobby congress?

Because congress creates laws regulating the drug industry.

Why does congress create laws regulating the drug industry?

Because morons like this guy think people need the government to make us safe.

What are drug companies really after?

They are lobbying for a piece of the pie govt has taken and wants to dole out in the name of consumer protection.

This means that the lobbying you hate so much is a direct result of your stupid policies!!

[MardiGrasMambos]

dumbest person alive, no perspective on anything

@m22k3yt I'm truly against the idea of marxism.As much of a liberal as I am there are certain parts of capitalism that I like.It's hard to motivate people to be innovative and to work hard if everyone makes the same thing.What's the point of being a engineer if you make the same as a garbage man (no offense any garbage men out there).The lure of profit entices people to learn new skills and come up with new ideas and innovation.How Russia competed as long as it did is beyond me.

its hard, cuz even if you ban corporations from contributing...they just start charities/front groups and fund them from there.

[satyrartist]

this is an EXCELLENT example of how lobbying works &how we need to control it! It can't be eliminated - sometimes it's form of representation is necessary. For groups like people with disabilities, or engineering concerns, or even the NRA , they have the right to petition the government with how their needs may be important for "the People". But when the money gets involved the slime starts to ooze. Maybe legally limiting Lobbies to the same number as representatives. Something has to be done.

Time? You mean the rag that has nearly as many readers as Bill O'Reilly has each night?

Profit is the enemy of the liberal.
