I am sorry but the people pool their money way more than the lobby groups do. It is just that taxes are taken for granted and they should not be.

Yeah but lobby money is specifically targeted at directing politicians' attention at specific issues.

Tax money is redistributed into government services and spending. Yeah, it pays the salaries of the politicians, but it's clearly not the same as lobbyist money.
