And here is the issue. ALL politicians, regardless of idiology or party, play God in respect to trying to "fix" the system.

The Right - denies they're manipulating the system because it violates their beliefs, but they know it's necessary to keep the economy running so they have no choice.

The Left - goes out of their way to proclaim how they're manipulating the system for the good of us all, but they know that taken too far it's not sustainable in the end.

Hence reality, and a well functioning society is ultimately owned by the Middle. The irony is that the Middle has no real power or authority.

Like your suit!
It's a Zegna 15milmil15 double breasted, peak lapel, Prince of Wales check. I took the photos for my mother who wanted to see some recent pictures of me. Funny though, I've never had the suit tailored and have been trying to sell it online. Retail is about $2700 and I scored a sweet deal. That being said I don't have enough opportunities aside from weddings and to really wear it. And like all of us, I could use the cash.
