They're stinking entities -- not human -- so why should my dollar be sabotaged because of a corporation.
2. Stop lobbying. Call it what it is -- bribery. If you get caught using lobbyist you should go to jail..

Just one more thing
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are
endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
