Know people who know people?

Let’s say you don’t have a golf buddy who has friends in higher places or maybe you don’t meet in a bar for one or two on the rocks scotch. ‘Connections’ seems to be the magic drug for success these days. Who of us came on top by bribing the system to be able to be the feeding giant of the chain? If you think that’s bad wait until you see politicians Christmas gift card list.

The system can be seen as a recipe for incompetency, no doubt about that, especially if can put any member of your family in any possible department to extend influence and remove ‘obstacles’ that are resistant to your objectives.

Is it corruption? We are people of extending favors-scratch scratch theory you give me a pot of gold in return, how is it different when the same principle is applied in politics?
