Warren’s Lobbyist Tax Is Really A Sneaky Way To Keep You From Affecting Government

"Warren’s latest idea to take someone else’s money targets an unpopular minority: lobbyists. And, boy, are they ever unpopular. Lobbyists are the only professional group to routinely earn worse polling scores than Congress does, making them an attractive target from members of that body. They are so disliked that Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., put aside their many differences and teamed up earlier this year to propose limiting their rights.

Warren endorsed that idea, too. Her latest take on lobbyists is a little cleverer and a lot greedier, but just as unconstitutional and just as wrong. She plans to impose a punitive tax on “excessive lobbying” and use the money raised from it to fund a “National Public Advocate.”

The people have a right to petition Congress, Warren admits. She just wants to take the money they would use for causes they believe in and spend it on causes the government thinks are better. As ever, her mission is to plan and control Americans’ daily lives, and if natural rights are caught in the crossfire, so be it."
