Say to themselves, “;The public we'll bilk.”;
To raise lots of money they need an assist.

Lobbyist only get access (they've got be kidding)
Because some congressmen do the lobbyists' bidding.
Here is a ploy they have honed to perfection
“;Help us out and we'll fund re-election.”;

With fancy footwork they are screwing the nation.
They skirt around the law but this fits
They are sophisticated hypocrites.
