20. But they're there to do the will of the people, not their own will (or Koch's or ALEC's)

Jul 2013

that's where the alleged "Democracy" plot is lost. They're trying to ram legislation through that the majority of Texans don't want. Same shit as in DC where the gun lobby, Goldman-Sachs, Koch bros, et al run everything. Like with Grover Norquist, no one elected THEM - yet they get full representation and 'we the people' get none, even while our tax dollars pay Congress's salaries.

Democracy falling apart.
