Never mind the truth, Liberals will have apoplectic fits because this was ALEC research.

Conservatives should be just as concerned as anyone else about ALEC - it is essentially a market for selling legislation to donors and sponsors, and for developing political talent that is amenable to the appeals of the lobbying industry. This is not how things are supposed to work in a representative system. Skepticism is warranted, if for no other reason that than organization’s priorities are very different from, and often directly opposed to, those of a typical citizen.

Government should not be a profit center, but because of the unfortunate situation where open bribery is effectively completely legal, that’s what it has become to many types of large and powerful business interests.
