    How exactly is this supposed to discourage Congress members from voting for pork barrel projects? I think this would only give me more incentive in order to get bacon-by-mail.

    The great French political philosopher, Alexis de Tocqueville, once said, “The surface of American society is covered with a layer of democratic paint, but from time to time one can see the old aristocratic colors breaking through.” That quote seems to represent our current state of government, especially during this year’s election. We have political incumbents and hopefuls who believe, or at least claim to believe, that cash advances are a detriment to the American people. Some of these politicians have proposed to eliminate the entire payday loan industry out of certain states and even the entire country! Ohio Governor Ted Strickland’s proposition is just one example of this; if House 545 passes, the payday loan industry in Ohio will disappear and so will the industry’s 6,000 employees. Both Presidential candidates, Barack Obama and John McCain backed a bill that essentially barred military personnel from receiving payday loans. Moreover, Obama has also supported measures that would make it impossible for these short term lenders to stay in business. An aristocracy is one where one ruling class makes decisions on behalf of everyone else. Let’s hope those old aristocratic colors don’t break through when determining the outcome of payday loans.
