Do you understand what lobbying really is? Name for me one lobbyist that actually votes on a bill? Further you continue to miss the point, without taxpayers the govt. wouldn't have the funds to hire anyone. Without tax funds private business still can remain in business.
Probably the same number of union heads that vote on a bill. Of course I understand what lobbying is. Unions do it too. That's the game and how it's played.
There are many companies that would be forced to go out of business or scale way back without defense contracts, and would have to fire a lot of people. The funding for these contracts comes from taxes.
