"I voted for the Mafia because of all their business experience!

Now, I don't really agree with everything they do. Prostituting littled kids? Destroying fasmilies? Gutting productive companies? I'm so totally not into that. But stealing from poor folk who are just trying to get by? Well, that's the Mafia being the Mafia. And breaking kneecaps? smashing heads? Maybe. It depends, y'know: like whose head is getting smashed? So it's complicated. You have to weigh all of that against the business acumen they bring to government. I do like how much money they make"
