Their answers reveal some long lasting stereotypes that unfortunately still exist today.
These kids are adorable though and their answers and insightful. Check it out!

+ add your ownlol. And what does a lobbyist look like? Usually greedy, mongering rich people who buy and get bought by politicians, right?
Well, I have my own cause. I am a home care worker by trade. I make less than $10.00/hr, and I can't buy politicians, I don't have enough money for me and my family, much less to do that. I refuse to get paid to be a drone.
I speak for the abused children, who have no money, because they're minors, and the parents are not going to allow their abused to have any money anyway. So what do I get out of this? Satisfaction that I am the voice for the voiceless, meek underdogs who can't do for themselves.
