One Vote vs One Fat Cat.

No matter how hard I try, I can't, for the life of me, figure out why it is that money has more of a say than voter registration. Look, you'd think that a politician who covets an elected position in government would be most interested in voters, right? And in a way, albeit round about way, he is. Any smart politician and even the majority of not so smart politicians know that. But what they have come to know even better is that if you want to get elected, it's gonna cost ya. It's not good enough to stand up and tell people what you really stand for. In fact that's exactly what you don't want to do. What you want to do is collect as much money as you can as quickly as you can with the least effort as possible from the fewest people possible. That translates to 'fat cats'. And we're not talking about overfed felines. That means Mr Politician needs to talk in favor of the things 'fat cats' like. That means Mr Politician really doesn't have the time to talk about the things regular folks like, at least until he has enough money. Problem is, there never seems to be enough money to satisfy Mr Politician or a 'fat cat'. I understand all this. What I have a problem with is how the guy with the money to give to the politician. Why should he have more to say than the little guy? See, the 'fat cat' still has only one vote, just like the little guy. And we all know that it's illegal to buy or sell votes. But after Mr Politician is elected and becomes Mr President or Mr Senator or Mr Representative, he still needs 'fat cat' more than Mr Little Guy. That's because he likes this new career. Where else can you get paid for doing favors for rich people and still go around telling regular folks how much you're gonna do for them. And then get rich people to give you tons of money to get reelected for doing so much for them? Ya see what I don't understand? I don't understand why regular registered folk still vote for these crooks.
