What is a politician? The best that I can see, they are pretty much someone that convinces you that they have your best interest in mind when in fact they are professional spenders. They make a career of spending your money. They get your vote by buying what impresses their voters. Not what is good for the voters. They are a lot like rebate shoppers. They sell you something for $10,000 that is only worth $6,000 then give you $2,000 of your own money back and convince you they did you a great big favor. They get votes by giving away enough to buy your vote. Like taking a child to a candy store and saying get what you want. Our friends are paying for it.
