Even if Paul intended no such implication, the inference is nevertheless there to be drawn by the cynical, such as myself, who don't believe for a minute that any such policy changes arise out of altruistic motives.

Anyone who doubts that a lot of money is changing hands to encourage, promote or effect such changes is a fool. And while that may not be "illegal" (i.e., it may be in the form of legal "campaign contributions, though I wouldn't even bet on that), it is, IMO, "improper" by any reasonable definition of that word.
