as far as a local/state level....it's special interest groups that get the laws passed....the super powerful police and teacher unions...and various vocal minority extreme left/right nut groups....and of course the corporate lobbies like the koch brothers antiunion lobby



I like how you leave the most influential right wing supported example till the last.

Ideology is not reality.
To make good policy, one must consider all ideologies and decide which best solves the reality of the situation. Ideology is afterall, JUST AN IDEA.

The only time a politician will ever serve your interests is when it is compatible with their interests.

The problem is that we want politicians to "serve our interests".Most people are too dumb to realize this is an issue though.

I can't think of a single politician I would trust with loose change.

Politicians would be insulted by loose change. If it's not 50's and 100's in a briefcase, it's not worth their time.
