The Sad Childhood Platform

This is a continuation of a thread started a while back. During municipal elections, has anyone ever noticed that there is a subcontest going on - a contest as to who had the hardest childhood? People who start out with nothing, and God knows there are many such in this world, and end up with much do deserve praise and credit. It's not an easy road to walk, BUT it does not necessarily mean that one is qualified to hold elective office. We, Trentonians, keep electing people who have a sad story, people who are thrilled to be at the trough and begin to drink deeply. I suggest the next time around, we look for candidates who are not looking to improve their standard of living via the tax payers. People who are truly and only interested in Trenton not in their personal balance sheet. Stay dry.
