Rent-Seeking

   Everyone wants something for nothing. It's human nature. Politicians
   pander to this desire. They promise much, but never explain where the
   resources come from. The more the costs are hidden (or displaced onto
   the powerless), the better things go for politicians. See [1]here for
   David Brooks's op-ed column on the subject.
