They possess a "I am poor mindset" and refuse to even consider other possibilities.The beauty of this blog is it gives people a way out of that mindset. I believe you are correct in saying the politicians skew laws and policies in the favor of their friends. That should be remedied via the vote.But, again, because men 1 through 4 are receiving some sort of handout from the politicians, (s)he gets their vote and the carnage is perpetuated.BTW, health insurance companies and your doctor are in bed w/Big Pharma. If you do some research, you will unmask the true snake in the wood pile.Regardless, keep voting in the incumbent and complaining about bad laws and you have merely reworded Ben Franklin's definition of insanity.

I know quite a few people who might be able to "see the light" after reading this analogy. I’ve seen this barstool economics before, but thanks for reminding me about this great explanation.
