Why does "Wall Street" want to pay those dole bludgers to vote? And how do they get them to vote "the right way". <All those folks on the dole you talked about as one example ... lots are bought votes.> And isn't it illegal in most places to pay people to vote? This 'buying elections' does seem odd. I have been a member of act.org.nz since the mid 1990s and while we did pretty well in one or two elections [in my local electorate] the party has not been able to buy elections even in the early days when we had loads of money. For some weird reason, voters seem to vote for anybody they like. I don't actually believe that elections are bought [in the civilized world]. Wall Street cannot buy elections no matter how many $billions in campaign money they give. Voters vote for anybody they damn well please and Wall Street can go to Hell if they don't like it. Goldman Sachs does not have a vote. Goldman Sachs does not have power. Goldman Sachs is a piffling little company not worth Apple's spare change. Mqurice
