"In the country I'm from, we have a saying: 'Free cheese can only be found in a mousetrap.' And it couldn't be more accurate. Please remember this if you plan to vote for a party that promises you 'free' stuff."~ Ira P.

I've given up trying to use this argument to persuade people on their vote, for the simple reason that I've observed rather a lot of people who not only like the free cheese - which is at least rational - but actually like the trap as well.
When challenged, they invariably think someone else is paying for their free stuff so they see only it as a benefit. These are also people that have large mortgages or are renting while they have a lot of new expensive stuff with plenty of overseas stuff yet wondering why they don't have any money. Financial literacy is not their strong point.
