Wayne...Democrats and business and politics = legislation.

Step by step:

1. In this state Wayne, the Dems write advisarial legislation which jeopradizes your business..

2. Your group ( business collegues)organizes an association or PAC ( political action committee)

3. Your group hires a lobbiest ( Another Dem )

4. Your PAC collects mucho $$ ( $typically $100,000.00 plus)

5. You go to lots dinners for Democrats, meet some other Dems that are on that committee...to chat about the adverse legislation. You donate money to that Dems re-election fund hoping you "get his/her ear.

6. Committee meets, Every Dem on the committee owes the other Dem a favor...

7. Legislation gets defeated ( narrowly)...your not done !!

8. Next session comes around, your PAC is hooked, the legislation gets re-introduced....AND WHALLA, IT STARTS ALL OVER AGAIN.

THAT'S HOW THE DEMS DO IT !!!!!
