Partisan politics is the effect not the cause! For people who don't fend for themselves it's always easier to vote to have others fend for them rather than accepting personal responsibility. If a community can't avoid what has happened in Bell regarding their own local government why should communities who successfully and responsibly self-govern be concerned or in anyway responsible. Why should taxpayers elsewhere fund the orresponsible government of others.
