A good reason for us not to become a republic methinks.

The version in which a rich but stupid person is presented as being more like "ordinary people" than one who's ever actually experienced and overcome hardship. Where a person who mis-speaks amusingly whilst cutting public services and giving the money back to the very wealthy is seen as more of a friend to the common folk than the well-educated one who is actually proposing to properly fund the services on which they rely. Where a candidate can be taken seriously loudly criticising "the elites in Washington" whilst accepting money from and promising to implement the policies demanded by the richest, most powerful elites there.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/C83648DC-6CF4-472A-9BA9-26EFB6204D73/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
