    Why do we need politicians?

    I can see why a Mayor is useful ONLY when there is a population density of 1 family per every square mile...but...

    IF A FAMILY UNIT ELECTED ITS OWN MAYOR:

    If you Elect someone in your family to be the Mayor [mayor is Spanish means "The Best"] of your family....

    That Mayor would be paid by the family...

    That Mayor would then raise their Pay-Rate [ala Taxes]...

    That Mayor would spend to money without disclosure...

    Go ahead and elect a Mayor.


    Which Chief of the Police,
    or Chief of the Fire dept
    or Chief of Sanitation,
    or Chief of the Post Office ,
    or Chief of Hospital Doctors
    needs a Mayor to do their jobs?

    Which school teacher needs a Mayor to do their jobs?

    Which Chief cannot do their jobs without a Mayor?

    When was that last time your Mayor showed up at your place of work to "examine" your work acumen?

    Without a Mayor, no one will remove the snow from the streets?

    Do you check with the Mayor before posting your opinion here of JPP?

    A politician and his "Government" should have a money generating business that does not run on contributions from tax payers.

    Replace politicians with 24/7 tally boards of A/P & A/R ---everyone else can stay busy working until their pension kicks in!

    At the end of every day EZ-PASS accounting dept knows the Year to date's balance.

    But common folks have to wait a year to find out how much their politicians have put them into debt.

    Why else do folks need to worry about the "cost of living" increases, one school graduation class after the other.

    Please discuss this subject.

    Pretty hard for them to know what the world would look like 200 years later

    Its why they designed a government where the CURRENT HUMANS were at the helm

    We still have no need for full time legislators who spend most of their time trying to get reelected, and garnering more money. Most States do not have full time legislators.

    No Politician is required until there is a division on opinions of a group of members.

    WHICH WAY SHOULD WE GO?

    Parties form to be represented as a bloc of same minded members.

    After time passes we uniformly accept this as means to resolve differing claims ---one cannot take his own opinion as acceptable to all's concerns. So laws and parliamentary debate allows different minded members to compromise mutually.

    So it is only when differing members BOTH pay taxes to the same coffers ---that politicizing Politicians are born.

    Politicians are likened to Labor Union foremen that savvy-ly Keep to workers happy ---except that Politicians don't produce any commodities.

    Then you explain why we need full time legislators who only "work" 100 days a year. Hell, they take that much time off for vacations, holidays, etc.
