So yesterday came and went with a lot of media attention, but it wasn’t until today that I really spent a few minutes figuring out what all the hoopla really is about. The vote is over, millions wasted a few hours getting to the polling booth and back, and the end result doesn’t matter no matter which side won a specific seat: my wallet will be thinner.

There were no promises to significantly reduce taxes and the size of government, both which are necessary to truly make my wallet a little fatter. Everyone was running on campaign promises that would require money to come from somewhere in order to add more employees to the government dole, or to transfer more wealth from those who seem to have it to those who seem to not have it.
