Lobbyists are the ones who are reading and vetting it.
Lawmakers are not and can never be experts in your preferred subject, so they talk to people who are - either by retaining them as bureaucrats, or by asking lobby groups as-needed. I've not seen armies of programmers clamour for the former, so honestly, what on Earth do you want?
- rbanffy 6y ago> I've not seen armies of programmers clamour for the former You can count me out of that - I'm from governments that have the size they need to properly function and I'm happy to pay taxes to fund that. I'd be happier if people richer than me paid their fair share but, unfortunately, due to budget cuts, a lot of tax legislation was written by their lobbyists instead of actual experts and, therefore, they don't.
