According to what I have been able to find, the following is true:
1) At least since the Sherman Act, it's been impossible for
anybody in the private sector to ignore government. They *must*
pay attention, and after they pay attention long enough, they *must*
participate.
2) In a way, unless we constrain government from participating
in the economy at all, lobbying is literally an exercise in
free speech and perfectly legitimate.
Summarily... "kleptocracy" begins with progressive desires to
regulate. And we're not particularly a kleptocracy. The US
has a highly transparent government.

Go look at the debate leading up the the Civil War. It'd be very
familiar. We're highly stable. The only real difference is media
technology changes.
