text: what is so good about politics and why do we need it?   politics is just a way to govern. think as if you had five million dollars and fifteen million people. 5% are low income people and need assistance, 25% are small business owners and need some help starting their own business, 65% are a good median class workers and they are paying taxes that are giving you those five million dollars and only 5% are people who are helping you out running things out, yet each of those 5% have to report and give the best to the people who they are representing, poor, small business owners, median class workers etc.. if you do not know how to negotiate all the money could go into one grup and not the others that will not be good for you as the keeper of the money and one of the ones who has to decide how to spend it. there is where politics have to be used, negociate, deal, trade, share, meet, built, and somethimes get upset, but always keeping in mind that it is for the greather good of all the individuals eventhough some get the longest part of the stick, but that is how the game is played, those who know the rules they learn to apply them towards their advantage and those who desire to ignore or not learn them are stuck under the ones who know how to play the game. just know how monopoly is a great game to start in politics 101.
