Also known as voters

Chris Graham has an interesting piece up at Augusta Free Press. Plenty to think about, but this line jumped out at me.
We’re paying too much for the delivery of subpar services in the status-quo system because middle managers with pencils and keyboards are working on behalf of CEOs and boards of directors and their blue blazers to make profits from the delivery of those services.
Middle manager with pencils and CEOs and boards of directors go by another name - voters. Do they have a say? What if they say government makes their jobs and health care much harder?
When you blame insurance companies, you're not blaming a soulless, corporate entity. You're blaming your neighbors, fellow Americans and maybe even family members. And they vote.

Interesting argument. So if drug dealers band together to form a lobby to have laws rewritten to benefit their interests, and they vote, hey, that's our republican form of government at work, right?
