When government is small and focused as designed by the original patriots agreed however, every government is then slowly taken over by the ideology driven zealots that destroy the government, country and people leaving all of it in the trash bin of history.

Weiner received govt paychecks until the special election to fill his seat. Now Weiner can start sucking at the public teat bigtime. The parasite will pocket:

(1) Congressional pension and benefits,

(2) govt checks for being Scuhmer's Congressional aid, and,

(3) govt checks for being on NY's City Council.

=====================================

Weiner was milking the system while "in sex rehab" relaxing on the beach in the posh Hamptons, and colluding with his backers to finance his future-------perhaps a well-paid sinecure reserved for "disgraced" lifelong politicians who never had a real job (see Eliot Spitzer et al).

Not to forget----Weiner also has $5 million stashed away---campaign donations for his thwarted mayoral ambitions. You have to wonder what the little creep did to get $5 million. The Congressional Ethics Committee (yes, that is a Cong committee) says the money cannot be converted to his personal use. I guess he'll contribute the $5mill to UNICEF to feed the hungry (/snix). But wait.............

HOW TO SPEND $5 MILL CAMPAIGN DONATIONS ON YOURSELF LEGALLY: All Weiner has to do is playact like he's a candidate for some obscure office, buy a mansion as 'campaign headquarters,' luxury cars for 'campaign use'.......pretty soon the $5 mil is all spent. All legal.

Not to forget all those endorsement deals Weiner is lining up:

"I've been using volumizing Pantene Shampoo ever since I was in HS."

Unfortunately, life becomes more complex at every stage of the development of civilizations and the growth of government to deal with those complications is inevitable.

Do you seriously think you can run a city like NY or Chicago without government? I know Marx believed (or claimed to believe) that government would wither away after the Revolution and the dictatorship of the proletariat but that does not happen experience shows us.
