Do you agree, or disagree with the following statement? Why?
"The primary difference between a politician and a thief is the degree of style with which they rob you.
Now, a thief will just just your money (and perhaps kill you while he's at it). But a politicians entirely different. Not only will a politician take your money, but he will charge you for giving it to him , and then tell you with a straight face that it's your civic duty to do so.
Politicians are so much preferable to thieves. It's amazing to see the sheer nerve it takes to get up on that podium, lie your guts out, and then ask for more money. It's really incredibly, like watching a master artist complete a great work."
