Today I want to talk about a financial transaction you can make to support the best political candidate.

No, I don’t know who the best political candidate is. I may not even have an opinion on whom you should support, as I don’t know where you live nor when you’re reading this. Nor am I sure that any human being can know, with certainty, who the best candidate is.

But if there’s any supporting information to be found on who the best candidate may be, we can confidently expect that it will be reported by a newspaper.

More specifically, some of that information will probably have been reported by a local newspaper early in that politician’s career. When alarming facts are revealed in someone’s early career, they often don’t go on to have a late career. In this manner, the quality of candidates tends to improve.

There’s a Difference Between Informed and Uninformed Opinions

I’m not defining precisely what I mean “best candidate” except to say that this designation wouldn’t be based on someone’s arbitrary preference (mine or anyone else’s) but on some shareable body…
