Lawmaking

Why do the American people have such a low opinion of Congress?

[A] survey of 1,000 Likely Voters was conducted on May 3-4, 2015 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence...

Just 18% of voters think most members of Congress care what their constituents think. Sixty-two percent (62%) do not, but that, too, is the lowest finding in a couple years. Nineteen percent (19%) are undecided. 

Here's a perfect example of the reason behind the Rasmussen figures:

H.R. 2283

The fact that this bill was even introduced serves as yet another example of Congress brandishing ignorance and misinformation. Bad law not only puts an extreme burden on those who have to enforce it, but it drives up the citizen's cost of living unnecessarily.
