Look up your state's legislature and see how many people are employed as staff and analysts and then look at how many bills are proposed every session. Most bills are not written by the legislators or even their staffs, whether or not it's big business, activists groups, or whatever. As for some of the over the top bloviating in this thread, that kind of nonsense just makes opposition useless because it's just not persuasive. "Democracy is a sham" whether or not you believe it in whole or in part or not at all won't help you get anything done and I'm willing to bet that the person saying that doesn't even know how to find what bills are pending in their state, let alone care except when a news headline makes them outraged. If you care that much do something, don't write revolutionary fan fiction. Most laws don't affect you. If they do, support the people who vote how you want. It's not that hard and I'd be willing to bet that for the majority of people here the system is working out just fine for you.
