Politicians - It is SO obvious
And most of us just don't see it...
At SmallGovTimes.com, Steve Adcock asks:
"Suppose you were sitting at home one evening and watched a commercial that tries to prove the company behind it has your best interests at heart, cares about your future and only wants to ensure your own happiness. Would you believe it?
Probably not. Ordinarily, most people would respond with something along the lines of 'Yeah right, they only want my money.' And truthfully, that is most likely the case. Corporations are in business, after all, for money and nothing but money. Money is the lifeblood of any corporation.
But, tomorrow night you decide to attend a political rally for your favorite presidential candidate. You slap on your nicest sport coat and high-tail it to the event and listen to the politician talk about 'securing' your social security, or providing health care for every American, or raising the minimum wage. You wave your fists in the air in approval and join the crowd in applauding the candidate's tender-hearted policies and warm-blooded demeanor.
That politician, after all, has your best interests at heart, right? They care about your future and only want to ensure your own happiness. Is that not correct? Politicians rarely lie, after all, and most of them eat at McDonalds every evening to conserve their measly savings."
