With the population inundated with government propaganda promoting supposed government "generosity" it becomes increasingly important to remind citizens that there is no virtue in giving away other people's money.
Consider the definition of the word "generosity": willingness and liberality in giving away one's money, time, etc
Note that politicians do not give of their own time or money, rather they tax Peter, line their pockets and pay Paul, while taking credit for paying Paul.
Although the populace has been conditioned to see politicians as altruistic, compassionate and caring one would be best served to re-calibrate one's perspective when witnessing another sod turning, ribbon cutting or hand out ceremony.
So how do the people make a difference? How do we get our elected officials to ACTUALLY work for us?
