Lawmakers, in the US at least, no longer draft, or even read, most legislation. It's written by aides who work with "experts" (people affected by the legislation, who have open checkbooks for "campaign donations"). The law is then interpreted by people who have no more understanding of it than the people who voted on it. The corruption is so thick you could drown in it, and it's compounded by ignorance. A winning combination!
