That's always been the point.  Give the government the power to take
money away from us with no apparent limits, and guess who's really
going to end up with that money in the end?

The poor and the powerless?  Oh yeah!  The meek shall inherit the
earth.  Goodness rules the hearts of the Washington bureaucrats.

Power and money placed in the hands of government, for whatever
tear-jerker, compassionate reasons, will end up in the hands of
powerbrokers.  We have evolved from the crudeness of Tammany Hall.
But basically, the game is to do enough to get the votes and to keep
the stench from rising too high, but you know who's getting the money
at the end of the day.
