Slippery slope argument. You can have authoritarian, anti-people legislation, and you can have pro-people, anti-corporation legislation. These are very different, and any legislator or ideologue that tells you any different has listened to too many Maggie Thatcher and Ronald Reagan speeches.

The legislation in my example wasn't a hypothetical slippery slope. It actually passed. This was part of what they were trying to regulate.

The ONLY difference is who's reading and writing the legislation. I never know if I should be alarmed or humored by people so blind to their own political biases.

I am very much not blind to my viewpoints. I believe the authoritarian pseudo-Christians that run Utah are dangerous people with dangerous "political bias" (adults call this ideology).
