    I wish people were as critical towards the National Association of Realtors as they are AIPAC, they spend literally 10x more.

      I think a big part of it is that AIPAC is a foreign lobby. For any foreign lobby to have as much power and influence over our governments as AIPAC is a threat to our sovereignty as an independent nation.

      That said, NAR definitely needs to be significantly reigned in as well, along with a lot of industry lobbying groups

      Maybe once we get some more proper socialists in office.
      Overturning Citizens United would do wonders on this front as well.
