In order to match the annual lobbying spending of Amazon, 1.6 million American citizens would have to give $10 (not to mention come to an agreement on how to spend it).
For comparison, there are 10 people on Amazon's board of directors, and many of them make their own substantial political contributions besides.
That's the thing. You can agree on *something* concrete among 10 people, with 100 it's already almost impossible.
