Subject: RE: BS: Western Democracy's Achilles Heel
I think the money involved in election campaigns is corrupting the election process and the functioning of government.

George Soros would probably know a lot about it.

Talking about some people having hardly any money and some people having gobs, I have seen this happen in familys. Like 3 brothers, the oldest and youngest of which are well off and the middle brother is always broke and begging the other two to "help him out" Any money given to him is soon pissed away and he needs more. The same upbringing, same parents, same everything. In fact, the father built three equal houses for them all free and clear. The middle brother sold his and pissed the money away.

Then I have seen immigrants come here legally and live in a school bus grafted on the back of their liquor store and suddenly they have a nice house and they are driving Mercedii.

Can you explain that in your rich get richer / poor get poorer theory?
