Political poor, penniless They

After seeing the declaration of assets of our council, I want to make a joint alms to help them make ends meet.

No one believes too much in this kind of economic streep-tease of the communes Salamanca. Or any other. First, because I think a display of intimacy, at least financial, sometimes we do not immodest and clarifies things too much to taxpayers. Second, because given the accounting devices, such as the anachronistic valuation list out there who are negative equity, mortgage-double and even triple the value of property saved. Well, as Vice President Chaves, another such.

But to state positions, why this desire of our politicians to pretend that they are poorer than rats? Because in our society to be rich is frowned upon, unlike Anglo-Saxon countries, where those who have succeeded in the private sphere are considered smarter and better able to manage well the public interest.

Also, if the declaration of assets has become fashionable now is to prevent corruption. It's about seeing the wealth of political difference before and after passing through the chair to check and I would not have been crude. And who says that the poor are less corrupt than the rich?

The whites tend to believe just the opposite. So that's going to rob a rich man in his office if you get more money in your private activity? In contrast, the other who does not know how to make do in civilian life is easier than trying to lay hands on the cash in the short time that public office, voters tend to think of those countries.

You see there are many reasons and reflections to consider this financial misery exhibitionism of our elected officials a pamema really inconsequential. The worst thing is that if something as trivial enough of them and miss the truth, what other issues will not make more substantial citizen?

The thought scares me.
