lobbyistism 

The current economic/political system in the United States in which whoever can pay the best lobbyist can skew (and screw) the laws and economic system to their own benefit.It is an extremely corrupted form of capitalism in which the labor of many benefit the fewest possible.

Occupy Wall Street is actually a show of disatisfaction with the current economic system of lobbyistism.

Lobbyists 

(Noun) The new American Citizen, whose everyday vote (Money) matters more than the vote of the original American Citizen.

(Verb) Screwing someone over with the power of money!

Those lobbyists sure got the win over the majority of American people, when they were able to get the President to retract his proposal on National Healthcare.

Lobbyists...Feeding the rich, while starving the poor!

Democracy, a government ran by the lobbyists for the lobbyists!

Did you see the way Danny lobbied Billy, when trying to get Sally's attention?

Tyranny of the Lobbyists/ Kleptocrats 

A condition in which the democratic will and collective welfare of the populace are subordinated to the entrenched influence of powerful conglomerates, multinational corporations, and strategically positioned non-governmental organisations. These entities, often acting as proxies for the geopolitical and economic priorities of their respective states, exercise disproportionate sway over the political process. In doing so, they erode civic freedoms, curtail liberties, and diminish the agency of ordinary citizens within the public sphere, replacing representative governance with a system governed by private interest, elite patronage, and institutional capture.

Person 1: “So what if 13 Cabinet ministers and 180 MPs have taken money from the pro-Israeli lobby? That is just politics as usual, isn’t it?”

Person 2: “No, that is the Tyranny of the Lobbyists/ Kleptocrats, when those in power serve the interests of wealthy lobbies instead of the people who elected them.”
