I thought Trump was going to drain the Swamp?
There are a record number of lobbyists under Trump.

When are we going to FLUSH these cockroaches down the drain and bring back Capitalism based on success rather than allow toadies the ability to thrive based on purchasing politicians?

Drain the swamp? Lobbyists are filling it up

Lobbying activity at highest level since 2010

For the first time since 2007, the number of registered lobbyists along with federal lobbying spending each went up, reversing annual declines that began a decade ago.

Where there is power there will be lobbyists. outside of stripping the state of its power, lobbying will never be eliminated.

Well, since all the Big Corporations are in the pockets of politicians, we can conclude they are not successful based on their own merits and based on capitalism.

They are successful because they rob the American people of their tax dollars and representation to put themselves first and punish Americans and Consumers at the same time.

No surprise there. He and his sock puppets are probably paying for all kinds of shady ****e.

I am surprised nobody posted a thread on this:

Billionaire George Soros brings winning record to San Diego DA race - The San Diego Union-Tribune

But as for the topic of the thread, all of this b.s. should be outlawed. None of it is for the good of the people.

We need to attack lobbyists at all angle in this country.
Legally of course.
