Love it. Need to get rid of the myth that actually helping voters is somehow equivalent to cheating in politics.

We should be much more upset about people paying politicians rather than the other way around.

You think paying for votes insulates a politician from being bought by others? I'm not sure those two would ever be mutually exclusive.

I guess I'm confused on the celebratory vibe of your post then. Giving away cash for votes just reinforces that only the wealthy can rule us.

I'm celebrating politicians focusing on the material well being of voters.
