On the May 18th edition of Your Call, national radio commentator Jim Hightower joins us to discuss ubiquitous corporate influence on lawmakers.
Since 1998, lobbying spending on Washington has steadily increased to more than $3 billion dollars annually. Corporate influence is spreading to state legislatures too, which have seen a 10 percent growth in lobbying interest.
