Comprehensive View of ALEC
The American Legislative Council (ALEC) has been a force to reckon with in
America. America’s legislative ideas originate from American Legislative Council meetings.
ALEC is a secretive group that has recently received media backlash for its source of
funding. The outcomes of the meetings affect the common American in numerous ways as it

legislations they would love to see passed or amended. They also decide on what should be
done in legislative chambers. The votes have to exceed the 50 plus margin from both parties
so that they can be approved.

repeal of Obamacare is a fight on Americans gaining free insurance. Upending the Affordable
Care Act was a major blow to Americans who were forced to acquire health insurance or be
penalized. The major beneficiaries were large corporate bodies in the medical and insurance
sector who had felt threatened by the loss of income from free insurance. The privatization of
the education system was intended to benefit individuals with vested interests in the
education sector. Legislation like tax cuts are cover ups for the local citizens as the cuts only
benefits high income tax payers.

highest bidder. There is no problem with ensuring tha...
