Free enterprise \u2014 the business gives the citizens a good reasonable price \u2014 they get no help from the government.<\/p>\n
The rich lobbyists are not legal \u2014 they make laws against the people for their own good. They do not care what it costs us as long as they get rich off our labor. They would not get rich if they had to build the home.<\/p>\n
Instead they stay back and let the people wear out their bodies for them.<\/p>\n
Instead of lobbyists spending their time making laws against us, they should help the citizens to keep our voted representatives honest and to look out for the people – not the rich.<\/p>\n

I remember when a business came to the city – they had to build the roads and buildings in order to build in this city.<\/p>\n
Our taxes were never meant to build buildings for the rich and destroy our sewers and water and roads. Once they do this, they go move onto another city.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
