The American Legislative Exchange Council — a nonprofit better known as ALEC — briefed its members and allied groups on the bright future for its agenda now that Republicans will effectively control 68 of the nation’s 99 state legislative bodies, as well as 33 governor’s mansions. Among other things, group members said they would push bills to reduce corporate taxes, weaken unions, privatize schooling and influence the ideological debate on college campuses.

“We can pretty much do whatever we want to right now,” said Rep. Jim DeCesare, a Republican state legislator in Kentucky, where the party gained the state House for the first time in nearly a century.

DeCesare, who had been minority whip, described plans for “a pretty intense agenda” including a so-called right-to-work law allowing employees who are covered by collective bargaining agreements to opt out of joining labor unions. Another, he said, would be repealing rules that require government contractors to pay employees more than the minimum wage. Neighboring states competing for new businesses, he said, had already gutted such regulations.

“We’ve got some catching up to do, but we plan to make up a lot of ground in a very short time,” DeCesare said. “This is our time to shine.”

4. You still answer to ALL the people

9. Doesn't seem to matter that we outnumber them

They've figured out the system to ensure minority rule. See also gerrymandering.
My only hope is that the upcoming 4 years is so disastrous that this country decides that maybe tyranny of the minority is not the way to go.

10. In 2008 when we won POTUS and Congress

Did any Democrat publicly say a thing like that?

This just proves they are all about power, not representation of the people.

11. Humanity has such an unfathomable capacity for evil.

I believe in a greater being, some don't and it's not a problem because it doesn't change if it's there or not. However, you have got to wonder if God hasn't decided to simply write us off. I mean, I would, because it's been a slippery slope the entire time humanity has been here. First and foremost before anything else we figure out newer and better ways to steal, kill, and enslave each other.

Anything good to come as an byproduct is just a happy accident.I know it's a pretty heavy response to this guy, but it's weary how something that was once probably a happy fat legged baby can turn into the garbage we get.


Humanity is a broken creation.
