At the slightest sign of greed, don’t vote for a candidate
The sorry state of this country is due to the greed of our political leaders. They bend the rules to protect their vested interests. If there’s no law existing to that effect, they pass a new one. Any law that is against their selfish interests, they either cause it to be changed or repealed. If that cannot be done, they make it ineffective.
A concrete example are political dynasties. There is a law, no less than the constitution or the highest law of the land prohibiting it. But a law has to be passed by the Congress for that to be implemented. Since almost all congressmen and senators are members of political dynasties they have yet to pass such a law. And never will if they can help it. The way things are, a very small minority of our legislators might be interested for the passage of such a law but the big majority will not allow it.
As individual voters, let us make the power of our votes speak for us no matter how Quixotic it might be. Since greed is what is behind any attempt to establish or perpetuate a dynasty, any sign of it should be nipped in the bud.
Let us not vote for one who at one time or another has betrayed such a tendency to be greedy. Having said that more so if overt acts were done by him or his clan or group towards that end.**
