Lying politicians correlate well with having big bad government. Does lying cause bad government? Not much.
Lying and bad governing simply correlate because both are caused by the same factor, namely being an asshole.
So? Should we pick lying politicians? I mean lying is not the cause of his future stupid policies right? Should we?
That makes a lot of sense Andy. This is my framework. Evolutionary psychology. Women are actually whore inside but doesn’t want to look that way. Before marriage I hold all the card, so she shut up. After marriage, she holds half of my card. Humans naturally get mad at those they perceived as weak.
Anyway, my marriage is not that bad. I still enjoy fucking her. If I have a son, I’ll explain to him how to do this more cost effectively.
This is another easier way to see this:
Controlship is 90% of ownership. Perhaps it should be the other way around. Many tax avoidance scheme revolves around relinquishing ownership to get control ship concept.
If you pay taxes in the hope that government will buy something you want, it’s like giving money to officials, quite often pretty literally. Just look at the kickback those officials get through politics.
You basically give control of the money to governments’ officials and that’s effectively means giving them money. This is like politic 101 I think. Every politicians know this and they pretty much trade powers all the time.
