If you're going to reference Mises' posts, at least get the info right. -g-
"...In addition, both parties need some mass appeal. The Evil Party aggregates victim groups, school teachers, trade unionists, and so on, while the Stupid Party specializes in speaking for, and immediately betraying, small business and all those Bubbas out there. This is why Republicans can be a bit cheaper. They only have to keep the right bankers and defense contractors happy; they don’t have to do a darn thing for their supposed mass base. By contrast, the Democrats have to hand out at least small rewards to legions of the downtrodden, an expensive undertaking which only leads to more articulatin’ and aggregatin.’ Just ask Reverend Jackson. It’s hard work..."
