In a national epidemic of individual
irresponsibility, it has become a national pastime to accuse politicians
of destroying America, but it is the American people who are the real
problem.
When the American vote was not for sale,
it could not be purchased at any price. When most Americans were real
patriots, “a person who loves, supports, and defends his or her
country and its interests with devotion” – they were not so easily
fooled by promises of free benefits (paid for by others) and
snake oil salesmen promising dancing sugar plums from the campaign
stage.
Politicians are nothing more than a
manifestation of the perceived will of the people. Politicians
pander. Most politicians don’t care what they have to promise to
purchase your vote, so long as your vote is for sale.
