He didn't act like he came from old money. I imagine it is like that everywhere though and that guy had some sort of party weight or donors behind him.BadMofoPimp wrote:For those who think of getting into politics, it is a rich mans game. Because, to get started like here in Winter Park, City Commissioners make about $2,500 per year and the mayor gets $4,500 per year. Hence, they make money elsewhere and play politics for other reasons. And, sometimes, kickbacks is one of those. For instance, every election here in Winter Park, we have to battle those who want to take away Lake Baldwin Dog Park because it is a damn fine piece of property that could net those corrupt people tens of millions of dollars. To me, both sides are as corrupt and dishonest as the other. Always have to choose the lesser of two evils. Still, I have zero patience for extremists on either side and will always oppose those who exhibit extremist views from either side.
In regards to the Virus, I wonder where all those Chloroquine disappeared to. I bet it was politics which sold it to big Pharma.

Pretty much seem like ALL politicians have dirty money and old rich people behind them.
