What the OP really meant, I think, was kill corporate contributions to candidates/officials/campaigns.
A company should certainly be allowed to hire someone whose soul job is to educate politicians.
Probably though, they should not be able to buy them fancy dinner, give them gifts, etc. Probably it is even fair to say that lobbying must be transparent. Either through some new system which interfaces citizens with their officials; or, through some direct transparency with regard to intentions of the lobbyist.

Money is the problem, not the lobbying.
