Drug company lobby...
to make sure that prices here in the good ol' USA remain higher than say, darn near anyplace else they ship product to.

Insurance lobby?
to make sure that they can, with a staright face ask for 46% increases in homeowners rates despite paying out less in the previous years claims.

Electric companies?
same old rate increase thing

Education? thats easy
one word TENURE

Computer? China NEEDS VISTA dammit.

(tongue firmly in cheek)
