“Lobbying” is not corruption technically or in practice. You are just simply wrong. Sometimes, things are a matter of opinion (this is a “values debate”); sometimes they are not.
Lobbying and corruption are different things. Sometimes one involves the other, just like commercial enterprise also sometimes involves or creates corruption.
I wasn’t taught this in school, by the way. I was the youngest registered lobbyist in California state history, at age 16, because I lived nearby and decided to go lobby my state senator about vocational education law.
Hardly the spitting image of corruption, or the bleak fantasy in your head about American life.
