Lobbyists are just paid, a good job opportunity.Corporations and other business interests pay lobbyists to make sure they have good laws to support their business, a good way to earn and live good lives for them and their family. Legislators are paid by people and government to listen to the public and the lobbyists of course and weighs the pros and cons and makes the laws required, a noble job serving the country and most of all the perks that comes from the good lobbyists and business interests. the people pays the legislators, they buy the products and services of the companies that pays the lobbyists and follows the rules and laws that the legislators and corporations had set forth. In short, the people buys the hammer that he pounds on his own head.
