The nature of making sausage, although a sight for sore eyes, remains a product of efficient butchery. Good sausage contains scrap portions of multiple types of ground meat, animal fat, herbs, and spices that are packed tightly into a piece of another lucky dead animals intestinal tract. Great sausage is cured, and The Best sausage is smoked. The irony in the process lies in the fact that the meat used was never really intended for the marketplace. Sumerian (modern day Iraq) Butchers in 3000 BC accumulated pounds of excess trimmings every day that could be thrown away, instead they transformed the scrap and sold the evolved product into a profit. Industrial engineers and Economists across the world would appreciate the efficiency involved in making sausage. Efficiency like this will go a long way in the next eighteen months for both the Republican National Committee and the Democratic National Committee and their epic journey to fill the Oval Office.
The January fund-raising numbers for the RNC and DNC came out earlier this week and the trends beginning to form may predict next November’s result. Arguably, inherited wealth of Presidential candidates used to cornerstone his ability to campaign properly and win a seat in Washington. Today the story is a little more complex. The Committees will become the named candidates primary resource for cash once the race gets kicked into high gear. The RNC raised $10.5 million last month while accumulating an immaterial amount of debt. This has been the recurring theme for them the past few months, and continuing efforts like these will separate themself from the DNC in due time. The majority of the inflow is attributable to single donations less than $200; with obvious major player contributions hitting close to $30,000 on the high end. The DNC, who raised $6.5 million while accumulating $4 million in debt, seems to be dragging their feet a little bit. The money managers must be as efficient as a good sausage maker if they want to maintain a successful run.
For a President to get elected in today’s world he must be aesthetically appealing, educated to the highest degree, and oh yeah...........he needs close to $100,000,000 to afford a proper and winning campaign, a lot of which comes from the own personal pocket of the candidates. Sorry Brownback, you don’t stand a chance, quit wasting your money.
So as a proper American, everyone of you should be reading the pamphlets, staying up on the candidates, and......donating to your affiliated party!!! Your last purely EASY chance to give to the Presidential Campaign, (and I mean if you can make a check mark, you can give to this fund) lies on your own federal tax return form 1040EZ. Some time ago, the IRS thought it would be a great idea to request a personal donation of $3 to the Presidential Campaign Fund accomplished through checking a box on a form. After all, out of the roughly 300 million Americans, only 20% need to check that box and BOOM...two hundred million in the Presidential fund. However, they were pretty damn ambitious when they set their own goal.......after all.........Who really checks that box??????
I am a humanitarian at heart (not in the court room) and didn’t want the guy who had the idea for the$3 donation to feel left out, so I checked the box and gave my money, after all it IS three dollars. Honestly, I felt good on the inside afterwards. So if you are lookin for a little pick me up before you do your taxes.......check the box.......trust me..........you’ll feel better about yourself.
