This is my last reply in this thread, Unless something new and related to the original post pops up.
But I got to say, I agree with a lot of what POLAND wrote, Just not entirely. Also great link Starman added.
See it not one way or the other it's that there's Pro's and Con's.
So yes money is in almost every Gov't decision the Pro never the Con.
For public approval it's the humanity stuff thrown in that wins public over.
The money thing is not all bad. Heck America is one of the richest highest standard of living and opportunity because of that.
At the same time it bothers me that they have to lie about it being their motive and throw in humanitarian stuff and get hypocritical to get approval always. It's just how it works IMO.
Look at the seatbelt laws. It's almost like politicians go "It will save insurance companies and hospitals money" "AND the people will OK it because" it will "Save their lives". BINGO it passes.
It's not only pro's of money sometimes they're racially motivated for example going after tobbacco. It saves money for hospitals and insurance. But they also get democrat votes by slogans like "Tobbacco is run by (key word..._) older males who don't even smoke" Whoa!
Smoking was banned under the Clinton admin. in Gov't buildings Hmmm... but that's the party getting votes because dummies think they'll legalize pot one day yet THEY banned Tobbacco. AND set up theatrical trials to extort money from the companies. [rant/] (for the week)
BTW, I kind of liked saddam insome ways, self made etc. but if it's between where I live and him...it's whatever (Add that to money and BAM!) Cons were against him big time! see?
