| #3 How come, without exception, politicians who pander to the poor rip them off the worst? You'd think the poor dumb bastards would wise up after a while. But they don't, they fall for it every time. I'm beginning to think liberals have a different brain physiology than conservatives. |

| #2 I don't think that voting to take away money from the middle class and wealthy, to give to the poor, works when the middle class and wealthy don't want to have their money taken away. Better get out a new bag of Jiffy Pop. |
