The word lobbyist has a negative connotation. True or false?

Social Studies
1 answer:
Maslowich3 years ago
6 0
The answer is definitely true. People tend to dislike the idea of lobbyists, because lobbyists often represent large, wealthy interests (like big corporations and industries) by spending huge amounts of money to persuade the government to pass legislation that is favorable to their interests. This makes it much harder for little guys (like small businesses) to get the attention of government, since non-wealthy people don't have the resources to lobby the government in the same way.

(TCO 6) Socialism has evolved over the centuries from Karl Marx’s original purposed theories. The first change took place with L
Gwar [14]

Socialism is an economic philosophy which develops as an answer to the different problems presented by capitalism. Advocates of this philosopy claim that unchecked capitalism only deals with short-term goals, such as making profit, so long-term plans in infrastructure, workers, environment, among others, are not considered. Different varieties of socialism tend to strongly disagree with one another, but they all agree on the fact that capitalism, if left unchecked, constitutes a great danger to the economy of a country.

Leninism is a political theory developed by <em>Vladimir Lenin</em>, which comprises both political and economic theories, developed from Lenin's interpretation of Karl Marx's theories. He proposed the organization of a <em>Revolutionary Vanguard Party </em>and the achievement of a Dictatorship of the Proletariat as a prelude to the establishment of socialism. His idea involved turning the working classes against their class enemies.  

Social Democracy is a political, social and economic theory that supports interventions to promote social justice. Social democracy originated as a peaceful transition from capitalism to socialism. This theory is associated with Keynesian economics - which advocates the intervention of the government in market economy, state interventionism, and the welfare state. It praises commitment to fighting inequality, oppression of underpriviledged groups, and poverty.

D. Launching a filibuster

Filibustering has long been a source of outside interest for the US Senate. Traditionally, 60 votes or a "supermajority" are needed to vote to end a filibuster. In 2013, Sen. Harry Reid pushed for an amendment that would require only a simple majority when it came to judicial and executive branch nominees (the Senate's Advise and Consent role) and the Republicans recently expanded this to the Supreme Court.
