Buy one get another free

US tech giants are spending a small fortune on "lobbying" politicians and the situation is getting worse.

Ever since corporate America replaced parliamentary democracy with a French-backed corporate oligarchic republican system, US businesses have been able to buy politicans using their campaign donation promises. But now it seems that the tech companies are blowing their budgets making sure that US politicans do what they are told.

As congressmen consider regulating organisations from Facebook to Google, and mull antitrust crackdowns against Amazon, said corporations have responded by flinging more cash at the problem. The money is spent on, ahem, holding meetings between company execs and politicians so that businesses can push their agenda and swing decisions in their favour, which may not be in the interests of the people who elected them.
