Tammany worked!...Dr. Seuss had a Tammany problem?? Tammany <I>worked!</I> ;-D Unlike today's distantly-managed welfare programs that turn people into anonymous numbers in the system, the Tammany guys knew everybody. They knew who needed help and who didn't. They didn't need your money in return for a job, just your vote. <BR/><BR/>(Just kidding... sort of)<BR/><BR/>G.W. Plunkett:<BR/><BR/>"Tammany is the ocean, reform the waves, and there is a lot of unofficial patronage to ride out the storms if you know the ropes. Why don't reformers last in politics? Because they are amateurs and you must be a pro. Politicians do not have to steal to make a living because a crook is a fool and a politician can become a millionaire through 'honest graft." <BR/><BR/>"Don't go to college and stuff your head with rubbish; get out with your neighbors and relatives and round up a few votes you can call your own. Study human nature and make government warm and personal." <BR/><BR/>"I seen my opportunities and I took 'em."Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10754406706300818849noreply@blogger.com
