We must, then, view political parties from a double perspective. They are alliances based on principle (this is how they all originated), and they are alliances of convenience designed to enable Congressmen to extract goodies for their constituents back home. In other words, they arise from and nourish deliberation concerning the common good, and they provide occasion for negotiation with an eye to particular goods to be allotted to particular individuals or groups. In consequence, our parties oscillate between two extremes. In some circumstances, they operate as parties of principle; in others, as parties of patronage. Most of the time, they occupy, in an uncomfortable and awkward fashion, the middle ground .http://www.wholesalejerseyss.com/

Their money? Really? They can "do with it as they please" works when their actual labor produces tangible results. Playing with other peoples money to enrich oneself doesn't qualify as hard work. Especially when there is no penalty for failure. You screw up in most jobs you get fired. You wipe out hard working people's life savings through your own misjudgments you get a bonus. My guess is that there were hundreds if not thousands of people who helped the very wealthy get that way. Is their effort really worth that much in comparison to the work done by others? Who decides how much they are compensated? Who decides how much they pay if they fail? This is the logic disconnect that is ruining us a country. No one is accountable. Instead they point fingers at everyone but themselves.
