Wow! I have been saying this same thing since I was old enough to know about lobbying. I would love to know how it got started and how it is legal if in fact it is legal! It seems like-to me anyway-that it should NOT be legal! How can we STOP this practice?!

It's completely legal. In a 2010 US Supreme Court decision (Citizens United vs. Fed. Election Commission) the court held that corporations were persons and their political donations were entitled to protection under the 1st Amendment protection for free speech.
