A young politician has 120 seconds to convince people to vote for him.
The following is the transcript of his speech. Important words and phrases have been underlined for your convenience.
"First, I am positively sure that you all want jobs because with jobs you will have money. And one sure thing is that everybody wants money. With money you can buy things that will bring you happiness after a good day of work.
If you do elect me, you will work. [booing] But… not… too much! I understand you, too much work brings you away from your family. I believe, the root of society, you don’t want to work, you want money! More you have money more you will be happy. That’s mathematics, you know. That’s why…that’s why…we will cut… the TAXES! You don’t want me to take your money. You want to keep your money for yourself! You don’t want to be poor, you want to be RICH! Let’s fight poverty together, let’s ban poverty. Poverty will be ILLEGAL! All the poor will be put in work camps. So that they will become rich. But not too much. If they become too much rich, there will be no more poor anymore, and without poor who will be rich? And want thing you don’t want is for the poor to take your money.
So to protect you from the danger of poverty, we will invest your money in the ARMY! A lot of money, that’s true, to protect your money. Education doesn’t bring money, education brings QUESTIONS, and we already have THE ANSWER! The same thing about climate change, I see no link between icebergs and money! Nature is the only thing that don’t NEED money. Happiness is richness, NOW. Do you want to be rich, NOW? Then vote for me!
God bless you."
Absurd yet thoughtful. Hmm.
