Must be great to be in Politics?
Requirements.
Ability to tell bald-faced lies while keeping a straight face.
Make wild promises that will never be met. (Can be recycled closer to the next election date.)
Promise the People Everything, give them Nothing, and then TAX them for for it anyway.
Invent sources of funds that don't exist, to meet the promises that you will never initiate.
(Ensuring that it does not affect your non-contributary Super payout when you leave, retire, or get thrown out)
Travel widely, rapidly, to as many locations as possible for the last 6 weeks of the campaign,
using as many of the funds that were already promised for other causes, as possible.
This tactic also stings the opposing Party, preventing them from accessing the cash
for promises that they never intended to adopt, anyway.
