Did you know that Bill Gates originally refused to have an office in Washington, D.C.? He didn't think it had anything to do with making (stealing) software. But because of his refusal, Congress went after him in a big way. Now Microsoft is one of the biggest lobbyists in the country, and everything's hunky-dory for Microsoft.
The PROBLEM is Congress legislating on everything under the Sun. They don't have the expertise to craft the legislation, so they rely on "industry leaders." Needless to say, those "experts" have a big-corporation bias, so just about everything Congress comes out with favors the big corporations. When they SAY they're sticking it to the corporations, it's actually the big corporations sticking it to US by controlling the crafting of the rule sets by which we all must abide.
Congress needs to stay in its fucking lane, but there's just too much political and monetary gain in it for it to resist.
We need another Davy Crockett in Congress. When he was in Washington, there was a bill proposed to help the widow of a war hero, who'd lost everything. Everyone said what a compassionate and patriotic thing that was, but Crockett said "It's not our money to GIVE! But I will donate one week's pay to her and if everyone who supports this bill would do the same, she would be set up in style." Well, needless to say, nobody in the Congress wanted to give up THEIR money to this noble cause. Their compassion ended when it had to come out of THEIR pockets.
We've come a long way (down) since then. There's nobody to challenge them on their fake compassion. "Sounds good! Let's do this 'for the American people.'" They're not doing it for us. They're taking from us to do for themSELVES.
