For this reason most virtuous people have no interest in political office. Those that do seek political office find that it's impossible to gain or retain such without promising (and to a certain extent delivering) financial benefits to their constituencies, at the expense of the opponents constituencies (actually the costs end up being socialize among all constituencies, but the political rhetoric conceals this). The only differences between the two dominant political parties are the demographics of their respective constituencies. Otherwise they both work exactly the same way.<BR/><BR/>David Hays<BR/>Grand CoteauGumboFiléhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16063142040036453846noreply@blogger.com
