Best Posts in Thread: MAYOR SAYS Dumaguete cannot afford additional funds for elderly

Jack, I do not follow the mayor close enough to understand his double talk issues. My comment was focused more on the fact that he was not giving away the city's purse to buy votes of a segment of voting citizens. I am just saying Obama, has given anyone that can vote anything he can, but of coarse the US does not allow vote buying."Give a man a fish and he eats for a day, but teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. Promise a man someone elses' fish each day, and you create a lifelong voter for your political party."
I was just trying to compare the methods of buying votes by either directly putting money in someone's hand (the Ph way) , or indirectly by stuffing benefits in their pockets (the US way).
I really do not follow Local politics close enough to comment with much depth, but I do know the in the hand direct buying votes is practiced here. A couple of us took a poll of the Bambulo Resort employees while we were at the bar. Not very scientific, but we could not find an employee who had not been offer money for their votes.
