*When asked what the most important issue was, a candidate running for Mayor said: "The billionaires must pay for the economic crisis. A 5% tax on all wealth over $100 million would alone raise over $8 billion a year: if they try to leave the city, their property and wealth should be confiscated.
When asked why she was the best candidate, she said, "I am not a billionaire and I have never been a bank executive. (ok, she might have a point there...)
*Another mayoral candidate was a founder of the Rent is Too D**N High Movement. (Seriously, I can't make this stuff up.) The most important issue to him... quoted exactly as it appears, "Rent is Too D**n High Rent-Freeze-Rent-Reduction-Rent Roll back. People must have money to spent." Maybe if he could write a correct sentence I would vote for him because he did want to waive all student loans... jk.
*Under Prior Public Experience, one candidate running for Public Advocate listed: Disgruntled taxpayer
The most important issue he would address as Public Advocate: "Eliminate the position of Public Advocate. If I am elected Public Advocate, I promise to report to work just long enough to fire the staff and padlock the office."
Those are just a few of the gems from our election this year. I hope your election reading was just as amusing.

We didn't have an election yesterday, but I have never been THAT entertained reading anything that had to do with public office. That is great! TFS.
that is so funny! Thanks for the laugh!
Choice.
I 100% agree with you. It was hilarious! We read the election guide this year and both of us were cracking up over it! Best reading material I've had in months.
