A brief socialist perspective on R.I. governor race

For purely pragmatic reasons this professed socialist remains a registered Democrat in Cranston.  I do vote for lesser evils simply to avoid immediate catastrophe. Breaking news: " Raimondo leads Taveras in R.I. governor race, with Pell gaining ground(  Providence Journal- WPRI 12 polls find ).
           I  may or may not have a favorite in this contest in the near future ( Pell is a badly needed fresh face ). But it is so clearly just a personality contest. All three candidates seem decent and honest by Rhode Island standards.
           But  it is the BUDGET -not your character-that finally decides what you can accomplish in office. And  government revenue is limited by the nature of the capitalist profit system. Where private wealth is sacred even the formidable federal government is reduced to begging.
               Too often even in politics character is not fate . We need a rational attitude toward wealth distribution.
