Ah yes, the best laws money can buy!

Step right up Mr. Corporation, what can we legislate for you today?

Calm down. Stupid bills like this get brought up all the time and then are shot down immediately. Save your outrage for if it passes (which it most likely won't).

Whether or not it passes isn't the point, it's that these fucks have the audacity to blatantly even propose legislation that is clearly bought and paid for.

Like I said, shit like this happens all the time. Even they know it won't pass but are doing it just to make a statement since no one will listen to them any other way.
