Elected officials too extravagant with tax money

Victor Fricke has written another excellent letter.He makes good points about entrenched politicians and the ease with which they spend the taxpayers money.He advocates that we throw the pols out and I very much agree. Personally I believe the only way it can happen is to legislate term limits. The letter appears in the Aiken Standard website.

The Ins are Always In

Here, there and everywhere
The Incumbents always win,
Their primary focus is to insure,
That the “ins,” are always in.

It’s of little import what they do,
Their record is of little matter,
They raise the bucks, work the PACs,
Anything to make war chests fatter.

Without fail they make the sale
Name recognition can’t be beat,
With all the funds and paid-for-mail,
It’s always another term repeat.

And so we have it for good or not
With hardly any exception
If an incumbent’s name is on the ballot,
He or she will win election.

I know it is difficult to deny your “friend”
Who every few years solicits your vote
But if our uncritical habits we fail to amend
Our nation soon will be of little note!

You ask how we can change the game
There is but one way we can do it
Without this change its always the same
We must force our pols their terms to limit.
