Buying Votes

---

Man-o-man, are they very good at buying votes or what?  Boss Biden has blatantly turned vote buying into a high profile art form. First we must acknowledge that buying votes is what politicians have always done.  Most have historically been somewhat subtle when doing it.  However, throughout American history, politicians of all political stripes are always trying to buy your vote.  For most of the population, vote buying is what the politician could do for your state or county.  If the politician could bring more federal money back to your state than your state population sent to the IRS, that was viewed as a good thing and you re-elected the incumbent. This was an acceptable form of corruption.  I say corruption because if your state received more money than it sent to Washington, the citizens of some other state didn’t get their fair share.  It was a very subtle way of robbing Peter to pay Paul.  Nonetheless, it was wrong.
