Like Microsoft, the health care companies, insurance companies, big
oil, big unions, etc.? I don't think they really represent "people,"
when they lobby Congress. The interests of the corporations might
coincide with some individual interests, perhaps more likely some of
their stockholders, but certainly not all of them. So, that's not
really voting, it's really influencing the voting of those in Congress
and the White House.

It's all about money, Jon. "Them that has, gets. Them that don't, don't".
The irony is that the country is largely composed of middle class citizens,
a class of people largely unrepresented in either the White House or
Congress.


Again, try and get access to Bush and not be the head of a large
corp. or a big lobby firm and see what happens.

Hell, try getting access to the president of any major American corporation.
About as futile.
