has since died reports
and have imposed
you obama administration received a stern letter from the american league of
lobbyists who could
firmly warning it to dispose of a draft executive order that would force federal
contractors disclose their donations
we've talked about this draft of the past
it would be an executive order basically saying that if you donate to a candidate
of
believe you donate to a if your federal contractor
you cannot have secret donations to people exit
somehow
these federal contractors think that well
if people know who are donating to it's going to taint the process
was excuse me you think that people sitting on these committees are not
aware that your donate donating to them
course they are they just don't want public disclosure
people receiving the money no where it's coming from
otherwise you'd have been
anybody could give the money
they know where the money's coming from
it is don't want to be publicly disclosed
quotes since your announcement to seek the presidency have consistently attack
the honorable profession of lobbying the letter signed by the groups present
howard marlowe a red
lobbyist play an important role in the legislative process serving as educators
to elected officials
is in the best interest of government to have informed individuals who serve as
expert in every arena of public policy
our ability to access and navigate the legislative process and pushes used for
it to a bureaucratic luster
is a vital service to the nation
thank you
the draft order would inhibit one of the most vital tools in the advocates
arsenal by creating fear of retribution political donations
anonymity

we're starting i guess i'm trying to figure out the camera we're starting
from here
everybody starts here this is where the cluster is
if u are go up like this is just a number of people there
as it grows
and then if you go
this direction
across laterally
it's how much income per
injustice inflation adjusted
there's one little blip
everything basically clusters around here in just grows like this where the
number of people increases is one blip that just sort of shoots out from the
rest of the pack
where the income per person
literally just pulls away as if everybody desert if it was a horse race
all the other horses would be dead
and one-horse would be running
to where the income per person to sort of skyrocket
