    Investigate donations to those MO House members voting for this bullshit. Smells like Bayer Bribes, since this doesn’t benefit the citizens of MO at all.

        There are no words how much I specifically hate Ann Wagner and Jason Smith. Two of the biggest shit stains in this state.

          I think the NRA got Ted Cruz for @ $25,000. At least what is publicly available. I’ve seen as low as $10,000 in campaign donations. Like, that’s not even a new car, to betray humanity.

      They employ a lot of people in the St. Louis area. They bring a lot of high paying jobs to the area and the government likes that.

        Not sure why you are being down-voted. It doesn’t have to be bribes that causes a person to vote some way. Just bringing a shitload of jobs to an area would cause a politician to vote a certain way. Because jobs makes voters happy, and happy voters would vote for that person again, so they stay in power.

        I got a job for all those people and more.

        Building free public housing. And keep doing it until being a landlord isn’t a “job”.
