@wolf_z that the supreme court, and most politicians, are far more interested in supporting commercial interests than listening to the views of the electorate.
Lobbying works - as long has you have a big clip of money to put into someone's electoral campaign.
Lobbying doesn't work if you are a hard working, law abiding citizen. Did I read somewhere that 70% of US Citizens don't pay income tax? Did I read that 60% of US personal bancruptcies are as a result of medical bills? That over 2/3 of medicine prescriptions are never purchased because of money? I don't want to see more laws, I do want to see more personal responsibility, but government has a place and a contribution to make.
