""No Confidence in our Legislators?" response
I'm not saying I agree, but David "Dave" Siegrist, of El Monte is persuasive in his argument dealing with this post.
"Since so many legislators are beholden to the "rich and powerful," why are we so surprised about the continually embarrassing decline in the numbers of people who vote?
When you see who is giving money to whom, voters ask themselves, "What's expected in return?"
And, invariably, the answer is "Access, Favors, and..."
Beyond that, let's look at what our legislators continue to do:
They pass so many laws that it boggles the mind.
The now hotly debated "Comprehensive Immigration Reform" contains a myrid of do's and don'ts. The laws that have been on the books since 1986 and before that have yet to be applied.
Why is it any wonder that there is such a lack of confidence and trust in so many elected officials?"
