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.
this is pretty much how I think. people choose to not be self-responsible and would rather vote for someone to feed and bathe them. self-governing requires people to be independent, something they gave up long ago......

and, yes, to the previous post concerning "communities who successfully and responsibly self-govern". guess it depends upon what one's definition of "successful" is because I haven't seen any that do it in a meaningful way......
