Lobbying is just businesses asking congress people for things. You can't offer them anything of value in return, then it becomes bribery which is highly illegal. Not saying it doesn't happen, but don't equate lobbying with bribery.

Some of those "congress people" (or their family members) were employed earlier in the firms they pass legislation for, and some are employed later. Still corruption in a different way.
