Re: Is lobbying so bad?

said by TK Junk Mail See Profile :

Is lobbying so bad? It is part of our great democratic system. Heck, I'd even wager it's good for simulating our economy.
Tk, seriously? A corporation spending billions of dollars a year in nefarious ways and hiding it so it can't be tied back to the benefiting corporation, creating and funding astroturf organizations to outright lie to our government for the benefit of corporations.

Yes, in its current incarnation it is awful.

We need lobby reform, now. All one has to do is look at the control corporations have gained while allowing us to fall behind the rest of the world in every measurable statistic ... except consumer debt, to see it doesn't work.

sorry to burst your bubble, matt, but this isn't the real tk that we have all come to know and despise. it seems that when the former tk changed his name to TKJunkMail See Profile, this troll swooped in and stole his name, seemingly to do just as he has done here.
it seems as though we have replaced someone with shillish beliefs and replaced him with someone who shills for shillings sake.
as much as i cringed when reading some of TKJunkMail See Profile's responses, i always appreciated the fact that he had *much* more couth and was often, a little more subtle about his shillish ways. this poser is just way too on the nose. kinda depresses me actually.

Color me guilty. I thought the post was a bit brief and lacking a certain slant to the right that usually accompanies Tk's posts.
