How does free speech "break" our system? There are lobbyists for pro-life, 2nd amendment, religious liberty, a simplified tax system.
You hate them too?
If the issue was simply free speech, there is no problem. The problem becomes the enormous amounts of campaign donations, exotic travel, free watches and swimming pools that are tied directly to the free speech that make it the problem.
Our legislative/executive/and judicial branches are dealing with things they know absolutely nothing about. Cyber security, medical issues, radar invisible aircraft and they need outside consultants to help all the lawyers figure out what the hell needs to be done. The consultants are not providing unbiased information, they are guiding these folks down the prim rose path to sole source contracts to benefit the consultants and their companies.
