This is just a quote from the article since the website has a weird layout. The article contains all the context. This is scary though. We knew lobbyist and companies had influence over lawmakers. Im not sure many of us knew Congress is having these people WRITE THE BILLS FOR CONGRESS AND SIGNING THEM INTO LAW. Insanity.

One of the few things I liked about John Boehner? Dude refused to sign this kind of shit and for most of his career never signed a bill with a rider on it.

This is why "simple majority" was a mistake.

I remember seeing this back when it was published. Feels like something that should be a pretty fucking big deal but no one really talks about it. People will believe in all sorts of nutty conspiracies before they confront the perversion of our system that's out in the open.

Corporations shouldn't have the same rights as people, they shouldn't be allowed to lobby government in any way shape or form.
