When our lawmakers are never held accountable, why would you expect anyone to take our laws seriously?

- TeMPOraL 10y agoBecause that's one of the most fundamental principles of living in a civilized society. I pay my taxes and expect everyone else to pay them too. I expect companies to obey food safety laws - otherwise I would be relocating to another country. Etc.
- toolz 10y agoThat's my point, you do it because you expect everyone else is doing it - but why would you sacrifice for a society that isn't sacrificing for you? I don't expect people to follow laws they don't like because not even the elite class that makes those laws obeys the ones they don't like.
