This is a 60 Minutes episode about a lobbyist who went to jail for corruption. The video does a good job portraying one of the biggest problems with the current government. Watch and discuss (about a 15 min video):

You can agree that this is a major problem regardless of political ideology. I believe this is a good reason for why government should be cut-back in this particular area.

Just to think this is how much sway a single man has over your governments, just imagine how much corporations and companies do then (See philip morris)

Imagine how little influence a business or corporation would have if the government remained small.

I just had a class on it earlier tonight. There would have to be pretty much no legislative branch at all to have this happen, there is no way to separate the politics from the corruption.
