As Larry the Liquidator said in that not-so-classic film Other People’s Money:
“I love money more than the things it can buy … but what I love more than money is other people’s money.”
With the federal election soon upon us, it’s time to issue a call for politicians to stop buying us off with our own money.
Every day brings politicians to a podium, stating how they will expand this service, increase support to that group and reduce some tax. But most of us understand that politicians are using our money to buy our votes.
