I guarantee that if they did, if there was ANY candidate that actually put forth a comprehensive, detailed, and specific plan, that there would not be a dozen people in a town of 5,000 take the time to read it. If he put it into a speech it would take a couple of work weeks at least to make and to listen to, and if it was intelligent and rational enough to work, at least 70% of the population (that can read) would have to have a dictionary and a thesaurus to listen to it. It would put at least that percentage to sleep before the first commercial break. I also dare say that about 80% would really be PO'd at it
What people love to hear is that whatever is wrong, it is that OTHER guys fault. Someone ELSE should pay for it. If only we stopped corruption, foreign aid, welfare, it would all be OK. Jesus would have done it different.
The truth is YOU will have to pay more and get less. YOU are not contributing nearly as much as you believe, and are actually benefiting more than you think. Corruption, various aid programs, and welfare add to the totals, but if they were all stopped tomorrow they would not make a serious dent in the problem. If YOU got everything your way the lagoon we are now in would look like Eden revisited. And that applies to EVERYONE.
