Lobbyocracy: Definition. State of American government where Political action is at work to serve and protect specific interests and affecting everyone's tax dollars and as much of the time and energy of our representatives as is necessary while providing the means for the potential (and sometimes real) downfall of every value our founding fathers aspired to for our Republic. Current state of affairs of the United States Congress and Senate. Money becomes the primary tool of addressing policy, often supplied by corporations for their benefit. Elections which depend on money to finance advertising and staff depend upon large sums, often obtained through lobbyists who expect favorable treatment for the people of companies they represent thus depriving the voting system of a fair representation of the American people.
