Simple solution to all of our problems.

"Lobbying is a controversial and often misunderstood activity. Protected by the First Amendment and upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court, in its most simple form lobbying is informing government officials as to what a group of citizens wants. This is a fundamental part of democratic government. Since corporations in the U.S. are considered to have some rights of citizenship, they also can engage in this dialogue." (Source)

There is a simple solution to all of our problems... Deny the right of corporations to lobby the government. Not any other of their rights, just that one. If human persons comprise corporations, and human persons can lobby the government, then corporate interests can be represented. On the other hand, as evidenced by our current situations, if corporate persons can lobby the government, human interests cannot be represented. If we fail to fix this problem, government will not truly represent human people.
