Stop it. Inflation doesn't work in this argument. Pesky economics are trivial to the vote buying rallying cries. Check this out: Wage disparity, income equality, living wage. I'm a campaign now.

You're not really that far off in that last part. Here's how you get voted into office: 1) Come up with a handful of soundbytes that sound good to the masses (Props to Barry O on "Wall Street v. Main Street". That's constituent porn.) 2) Focus on the soundbytes. Craft speeches around them. 3) When questions are asked, you don't necessarily have to answer the ACTUAL question that was asked. Rather, you use the question as a jumping-off point to transition back over to your soundbytes. 4) Practice part #3. Get good at it. 5) Win!
Okay sure, but during a campaign you can't avoid tough questions. Somebody will ask them. Skill at part 3 separates wheat from chaff.
