Threatens? Why is lobbying allowed in the first place?

    Lobbying in itself is not the problem. Potential corruption and bribery are the problem.

    Lobbying is a group of people coming together to voice their interests and/or concerns to their representatives.
    That group could be a group of individuals or a business. A business lobbying the government could be as innocent as them informing the government that proposed legislation would make their business uncompetitive, leading to a potential loss of jobs and/or tax revenue.

    That said.. I don't particularly trust that Amazon's lobbying efforts are all that innocent
