A Former Lobbyist Talks About What He Used To Do For A Living. And It's Horrifying.

Remember Jack Abramoff? He's the former lobbyist who was sentenced to six years in prison following a corruption scandal in 2006. Since his release, however, he's been working to redeem himself as an outspoken advocate against the influence of money in politics and has become a prominent figure in the burgeoning anticorruption movement. Seeing as how he used to corrupt government for a living, I'd say he probably knows what he's talking about.
