If some companies pay more to lobbyists than they do income tax, should there not be a 200% lobbyist tax? Meaning you pay a lobbyist 1 million dollars that you pay the government 2 million. Just a thought.

Sad, they will spend money to keep from giving the government money (the company already has it ) knowing the government is in a money pinch, yet raising taxes on us is always their plan...

Well the lobbyists, and now the super pacs are probably the biggest source of evil things happening, yet we hear so little about fixing them.
