I see your point but I think voters still control what laws are made to some extent, even in states without a popular vote model.

Large contractors get their asses handed to them all the time when states pass laws. Those corps may be able to fuck the little guy, but representatives still want to get re-elected.

Again, how much the federal government decides to get involved will matter greatly.
