Massimo Gramellini - After learning that an MP of his married catholic party had spent the night in a hotel with a phone call, the secretary of the UDC Lorenzo Cesa has proposed to increase the salaries of politicians, to allow them to transfer to Rome by his wife and children. Not since Marie Antoinette not say that a powerful phrase so unpopular. And he made the award right now, when the costs of building the hives are coming to all Italians, except those in the Palace, or behind him, live. Moreover, the armed wing of the casino and always very attentive to the policies of the Family.
In his mind, the Italian deputy is not an amoeba like some European colleagues who work for far lower figures for the night and are quite capable of going to bed making love with the dossier. The Italian deputy is a free-range cockerel. No one can pretend that you sipped three, sometimes even four days of activities outside the home, without his hormones start to scream with fright. And if, coming home in the evening after an exhausting session at the refreshment stands, is not the holy family to divert the enthusiasm towards the happy ending, it becomes inevitable for him to take the path of vice, where he can go in reverse, with a well balanced mix of Hail Marys and Our Fathers.
Yet to reread in the light, the affirmation of Cesa is not all that unpopular. Echoes a popular cliché in our country: that money is a deterrent to vice. When the employee's well-known firm of glasses is found to be selling them down the street at half price.
Oquello company mobile phones to rent to an immigrant who has supplied the equipment for him to call home on the other side of the planet.
Or when the door of a Ministry, any other person who has a sliver of power over our lives, pretending to be oiled to travel or derail some practice. In all these cases, and a thousand others, the reaction of the relevant class is the same Mr Cesa: If you earn more, we could afford to sin less. A reasoning which even its own charm, was not that big of billionaires are almost always vicious.
