Yeah , I understand, but somehow my vote doesn't change 80% of the country.

See when your congressman gets millions to build you a bridge that you really don't 'need' but makes your life easier, you re-elect him, regardless of whether it was worth it for everyone. Back to entitlement again.

Get me 'mine' and I'll re-elect you.




I saw a news blurb just this morning about politicians selling their votes for personal perks (not even perks for their constituents, which would be good /bad on a whole other level)
