That's completely independent of the fact that this rule would completely knacker unions in favor of business. Unions would become a non-entity in the world of politics, completely unresponsive and unable to represent their members' needs.
Now, I'm not saying that lobbying is the best system for representing one's members, because it is indeed foul and corrupt. However, a level playing field must be maintained, and to shut the voice of the workers out of the game while allowing corporations to continue to throw as much money as they like to buy policies that suit them is just wrong. Like my dad, I'd be more than happy to vote for this, if it were to maintain a level playing field. But it doesn't, it screws union members in favor of corporations.
