The Patriot Post® · Cheaters for Public Office

“College students who cheated on a simple task were more likely to want government jobs, researchers from Harvard University and the University of Pennsylvania found in a study,” reports the Los Angeles Times. But here’s the kicker: “Their results, recently released as a working paper by the National Bureau of Economic Research, suggest that one of the contributing forces behind government corruption could be who gets into government work in the first place.” Ya don’t say! What other conclusion could you surmise when evaluating the individuals who occupy Congress and the Oval Office? What’s equally disturbing is the fact that these officials keep getting reelected to public office. Clearly, there’s an underlying problem here – a problem bolstered by the ever-growing entitlement state.
