Pluralist theorists put forth the idea that interest group involvement in policymaking contributed to democratic government.  Can an acceptable balance can be struck between the right of people to pursue their own interests and the need to protect society from being dominated by one or more interests?  Do you believe this balance exists in our society today (and in particular, in Washington, DC)?  In class, we discussed that corporate interests dedicate significant resources to their advocacy efforts and many believe that $$$ control politics.  Do you think this is true?
