Kind of like the current lobbying going on all over the world?

Well, yes and no. In my opinion, lobbying in itself is not evil if it remains within reasonable limits.

One of the limiting factor is to avoid giving the said lobbies unlimited funding. That is one of the reason for taxing corporations.
