Electoral promises

So easy to be made. Potiticians: what’s their real job? What do they really do? My wild guess: jokes, fake promises, constantly caricaturing themselves, exaggerating people’s expectations. Easy liars merely oriented towards their careers, with just a few glorious exceptions.

There are no easiest lies than those people are desperate to hear: when you master this art, you ARE a politician, by definition.

They campaign in fantasies and poetry with easy promises, to be elected, and then govern based on personal interests and briberies. The lesser this is true, the more truly working, effective governments you can find. The more it turns to a somber reality, the more corrupt governments are in place: think as a reference to Scandinavian Countries as best examples of the former, compared to many southern Countries as their opposites.

Conveniently criticizing when they represent the opposition and even more conveniently changing ideas when it’s their moment to manage a nation. Tax-cutting plans “strangely” transformed in tax-adding realities. More investments in infrastructures implemented thanks to…bribes are quite “strangely” a constant.

ONE thing is always certain (has always been, at least): sooner or later a tax increase is coming our way, because there is no tooth fairy. Tell me it’s not true, please. Governments have to avoid the unmanageable (?) and manage the unavoidable (?): it takes a lot of money, if you haven’t realized yet.

Now you have the perfect picture of how I consider politicians.

I STRONGLY hope yours is different.

….Always humble,
