When
the writers of our Declaration of Independence, Constitution of the United
States of America, it’s first Ten Amendments we know as the Bill of Rights; did
they have any intent that politicians would administer our government as a pay
to play way of life? They entered into the documents the principles of limited
government and personal freedoms.
Today
we are reading and hearing of influence pedaling systems run from a high level
of our Federal Government. We hear of the NJEA withholding of donations to the
New Jersey Senate’s President until they receive favorable treatment. In
Gloucester County election of 2015 there was the expenditure of $660,000 to
seat three freeholders. Money flows from businesses, professional corporations,
other office holders, public employee unions, the trade unions, and most insidious
of all is from foreign governments. All for their favors.
Several
years ago a NJ Congressman was embarrassed into resignation by his personal use
of election funds. NJ then elected another highly funded newcomer from a political
influence family. What the average voter does not seem to understand is the politicians
raise funds to get elected and then they vote favorably for their donor’s
desires or welfare's.
