[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree, it can vary so much. Both my husband and I are registered lobbyists. He is also a lawyer and works at a big firm, but the majority of his job is taking clients to the Hill and trying to influence policy (environmental arena). He makes $500+. I am also a registered lobbyist, I work for a think tank and lobby on their policy proposals. I make $210k. We both have 20 years work experience and began our careers on the Hill. I like to think we aren't jerks!   [/quote

It depends on who and what you are lobbying for. If your husband is polite and humble but getting 500k yearly to loosen environmental regulations for client profits, then he is a polite, humble, jerk. If he is getting paid handsomely to keep our water clean,  food safe, and forests protected, power to him, polite or not.  If thanks to your efforts the rich get richer and more influential and the majority gets poorer, sicker, and less able to influence their representatives, same. It really just depends.[/quote]

Thanks for being so sanctimonious, this wouldn’t be DCUM without people like you popping in to feel heard. [/quote]
