Bad bunch: why our leaders' projects must be repeatedly rejected, knocked down, they need reminding who's boss and what's really important

Bad bunch

The sort most often elected here virtually demand aginers. They're seldom bad persons, but politics requires money and time, meaning that most are rich kids. Never having had to work, though they might've been attorneys or managers shoving people around like objects, they could always just party with their exclusive cliques.

Thus, with little grasp of having to work, they don't encourage such solid enterprises as manufacturing, preferring shaky tourist and entertainment businesses. Never having worried about expenses, they see taxes as daddy's inexhaustible gift and not others' hard gained necessity.

Always a notch above others, they tend to discount poor and middle class people. They'll try to get around ordinary people's needs while imposing the fads and fancies of their own social class.

This is all why our leaders' projects must be repeatedly rejected, knocked down, picked apart and revised. They need reminding who's boss and what's really important. Mainly, they must be kept from ruining local distinctiveness, imposing impossible taxes, and recreating here the polluted, crime ridden resorts where they vacation and excluded citizens struggle.
