Chris,
    Do I misunderstand something here? I am not talking about what you write
but about the bigger world outside that stands behind your thoughts.
    I understand how the politicians buy votes with our tax dollars by
appealing to folks with social programs. However it is my understanding that
the underclass basically don't vote.
    Does this mean that buying votes doesn't work or that I just don't
understand something?
