Considering that US congressmen can evidently be bought with like ten to twenty thousand bucks, or tickets to some resort, I don’t understand how USians still don’t have crowdfunded lobbying.
Because it would make it way too obvious that their representative are not really representing voters but only the biggest wallet around. Second is a crowdfunded lobbying would be a one shot thing, while corporate lobbying can provide a more stable “support”.
