Democracy

I never cease to be amazed by the rhetoric of a politician. They make so many promises that history has taught us that they either cannot or never intended to keep. But the masses still want to believe that they will deliver. Does anyone ever connect the dots to a road map on how the promises are to be accomplished, or what impact there will be if the promises are fulfilled?

Usually when you make a promise to one, it is at the cost of another. Such as, I am going to give you something you do not have, in hopes it will give you a better life and therefore make you a better person. However, I must take it from someone who worked hard for it, but then they are already a good person and I am sure they will just work a little harder. And when they do, I will have more resources for other under-achievers.

Does this sound like a plan that will get your vote?

Under-achievers: YES

Hard Workers: NO

The question is which group out numbers the other in a democracy.
