Should the Government Regulate Interest Groups?

Ahh, good question. After reading this article I'm not really sure if they should or not - there are valid points on each side. I think the government should have some kind of say in the matter because it is superior to everything. It should set out "perimeters for the playing field" so to speak.
However I would say NO for a couple reasons. I believe that they shouldn't level the playing field. If a group is wealthier then the rest, then let it be. They clearly have established themselves and have the resources and support...so why take their hardwork away? I think all groups should have a say (FREEDOM OF SPEECH *ahem* CONSTITUTION!) - they are representing people's beliefs.
