有钱去当官确实不假。深有体会。前阵子我同事加入一个党派,党成立不久,就是一个地方党派,精选市长及市议员。党领也是一个商人,比较有钱,但也不是巨富。我同事在竞选前的那两个月天天当义工,白天工作,晚上就翻译啊,敲门啊,准备各种事宜啊。累得他半死。后来想发两万封信给选民,结果没有钱。也没钱宣传,打广告,更别说上广播或者电视了。募捐来的就那么点儿钱,都是挨家挨户要来的。最后他说玩政治就得是有钱,有闲,否则没戏。最后他们这小党派惨败,一个席位都没拿着。在中国,没钱的去当官,拼命着往上爬。从这个角度讲,还真是资本家 VS 无产阶级啊。哈哈~
“It is essential that Chicago show the same willingness to be open with pension and other benefit data that they have been with salaries. In case you were wondering, our new Mayor Rahm Emanuel makes $216,000 per year. The highest paid Chicago employee is the new superintendent of police who makes $260,000.Jun 9, 2011”
如果只是盯着总统,肯定总统是不贪的,因为没法贪,人家名气大,也用不着贪。 你们去看看那本书叫:《THROW THEM ALL OUT》 by Peter Schweizer, Hoover Institution, Stanford University. 看看人家美国人是如何贪腐合法化,还缴税,很科学的。
