In Texas when a fat cat business owner does not want his business regulated he/she merely has to donate money in order to create a fake oversight agency that won't regulate or oversee anything.
People throughout the U.S. are screaming about the AIG bailout bonuses paid with taxpayer dollars. As in the case of Wall Street and its banks, business interests in Texas are likewise stealing from consumers. There is a difference in how the money heist takes place but the outcome is the same. Fat cats are essentially able to steal from Joe the Consumer.
Here is how it works. Texas business owners, with the help of their purchased Pimps the Politician do it in a less blatant and more "legal" and politically "acceptable" manner by making sure laws are passed that will make it next to impossible for a consumer to sue business owners. If one has the misfortune to purchase a shoddily constructed home built on the cheap in which the roof is caving in from leaks, or raw sewage is seeping through its foundation, a home buyer has little recourse other than to suck it up, repair the mess himself or sell the wretched home at a loss.
