This from Mediaite:
Bill Maher ended his show Friday night with a plea to rich liberals to even out the playing field so it’s not just “rich assholes” supporting the GOP pushing the policies they want all over the country. In particular, Maher singled out how one North Carolina businessman has been able to push his agenda through the state legislature, and with just a hint of subtlety, Maher used the segment as a direct appeal to the artist Jay Z, who, as luck would have it, was sitting right next to him.
As muhc as I hate to admit it Maher may have a point.
We would all like to believe that voters cannot be bought, or influenced by loads of money used in advertising to sway our opinions, but the reality before us often shreds that faith in humanity.
Often people only hear the loudest, and most persistent, voice. And the richer you are, the bigger your megaphone.
And the progressives have no ALEC, rich donors buying pols and writing legislation for them to pass. How can anyone who does this think they are working for Americans? And ALEC is no secret any more. I see stories about pols and they admit that ALEC wrote the bills. It is disgusting, unfair, and just wrong. It needs to be illegal before they will stop.
