When I last argued for eliminating lobbying, it was pointed out to me that lobbying is supposed to equal representation, and "don't I want a representative government?"
What about limiting lobbying? The amount of money involved is obscene, at some levels. Why not change it to one US dollar per lobbyist maximum?
Although this may not be a great idea, my general intention is to level the playing field a bit, make the job less attractive/lucrative.
The same could be done for political positions, as well. It is my understanding that when the framers put this union together, they could not make a living being a representative. When all was said and done, they went back to their real method of earning a living, whether farming, law, medical practice, etc.
