Research has shown that business/economic interest groups outnumber all other types of organizations in terms of their lobbying presence in Washington, D.C
Why do some scholars view this as problematic for the functioning of our political system? Could it be argued that this is not a problem at all?
What will be an ideal response?
An ideal response will:
1, Note that those who view this as problematic believe that business interests have a disproportionate influence on public policy, given their wealth of political and financial resources and access to policymakers.
2, Provide a logical reason to explain why this might not be a problem, such as the fact that policymakers don't always meet the demands of business lobbyists and that public interest groups are well-represented in Washington, D.C.
