It seems reasonable to me to conclude that this system would result in those with the most money and power getting the most face time to present their arguments.  Which could often mean that corporate interests trump individual interests.<p>And, of course, there are plenty of instances of corruption in the lobbying process.  Everything from outright bribery, to promises of lucrative jobs post retirement for congresspersons, etc.<p>I don&#x27;t personally think that lobbying should be illegal, but it doesn&#x27;t seem that odd that someone might think it should be.
