And if decide not to join then what?

You lose. Your family is struggling to make ends meet. Your kids struggle to go to college. You become a nobody, and our family name fades into distant memory.

So you are telling me that I can't just inherit Grandpa's money and go my own way?

Correct. It is your grandfather's wishes that only those who do their part to maintain the family fortune receive their benefits--once they are old enough make an informed choice. For you that decision time has come.

So what is the deal? What do I have to do to keep the good life?

You just have to do as you are told. Trustees were appointed by your grandfather to handle the family's financial affairs. They in turn appointed successors. You know who they are. They will tell you what to do and when to do it.

Well, what exactly are we talking about here?

We are talking about following in my footsteps as a liberal Republican Senator from our state.

I don't understand. We are wealthy. Why would I be a stupid liberal?

Son, I was explaining it to you earlier. We have to rig the game. Let me give some examples:

Environmental Policy--We own a lot of undeveloped land out West. If developers are permitted to build houses in areas adjacent to ours the value of our land may stay the same, decrease or increase. If the government prohibits development in these areas our land becomes extremely valuable.

Drugs--We own companies that produce a variety of drugs to combat AIDS and other diseases. These drugs are very expensive and can't be afforded by most people who need or think they need them. We need the government to subsidize health care at home and give foreign aid abroad to create a market for our drugs.

Antitrust--Leave our companies alone, and prosecute the competition.

Son, do you get the idea yet?

Then this liberal stuff is just a racket for people like us?

You got it. We are the con men. The public is the suckers.

But won't I get caught? In my youger days I was known as a conservative. I opposed all these government policies and many more.

We own the media, son. They write what we tell them to write. If any reporter is in your face we will ridicule them as crazy or extremist and if they are local we will get them fired. If necessary we can do a lot more than that.

Son, I invited an old school friend of yours to help fill you in on how it works on the inside.

(Old friend enters. Handshakes and hugs.)

Dad, ___ is a leading conservative. Everybody know that. I don't understand.

Welcome to the real world, son. There are some big plans for ___. He will soon increase his conservative credentials by saving the Party in a critical election. Then we hope that he will follow in his father and brother's footsteps.

His brother? But, you would help elect a conservative?

___ will move to the center when it counts. That will be when he gets his new nickname.

And that new nickname will be?

45.
