Ever since I started really contemplating the state of our country with the Military-Industrial Complex and how it controls our government through lobbying and no-compete contracts and political contributions, it has made me angry. I always thought that we need to make laws to change this. We need to somehow restrict the ability for lobbyists to control politicians.
I was wrong.
Ron Paul had a "Town Hall Meeting" in New Hampsure, that he was forced to do by Fox ("Fair and Balanced", yeah right!) because they excluded him from the debates. In this meeting, he mentioned that restricting lobbyists could potentially violate people's Constitutional rights. He said the real solution, instead of restricting lobbyists, is to restrict the politicians. The way to do that is to limit the power the government has. If we have a small, Constitutional government, the lobbyists wouldn't have any motivation to give money to politicians.
The answer was so simple, I never thought of it. This country needs more men like Ron Paul in politics.
