And then what happens to the reformer, lover? He either has to build up a political machine or else he's defeated at the next election. If he builds up a political machine, he has to do it by distributing gravy to the boys who are on the inside.-Hell, Donald, politicians always have cake. The people pass it to them on silver platters, and when the politicians cut it, they have to cut a piece for each of their friends. Otherwise, the friend becomes an enemy.-
