Lobbying in this nation is the next best thing. Giving gifts with the implied idea of having them do what you want. The only reason its not a bribe is because they aren't being officially being told to do things.

That's the obvious problem. Why it's not illegal, we all now know the ethics are violated. We all know so called campaign donations are bribes. Unions and Corporations don't hand out big money without expecting something in return. It's called "vote for sale". Congress has the ability to protect and make legal for themselves what they make illegal for the rest of us. If they had to abide by the laws they place on us they would all be under the jail.
