Special Interest Lobbying. Seems innocent enough at first. Salmon fishing. Pocket Gopher.

It's not clear the current machinations occurring at DC is what the constitution had in mind and instead is something that has evolved to become the norm.
It's not like this doesn't happen all the time in history. Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. I am not aware of a Govt that ever actually cared deeply about 80% to 90% of people. The whole Democracy is the least worst of all Govts concept. Politics is full of characters like Littlefinger from GoT.
