As a democratic socialist I suspect that most Rhode Island candidates for governor are on a higher moral level than the CLASS OF BRIBERS - the over-appreciated class of BUSINESS men and women. But Democratic Party candidates for governor never hint that no matter how golden their characters their POWER is limited by a little thing called THE BUDGET which is invariably decided by THE TAX PAYER - always a code word for the capitalist ruling class that shuns CELEBRITY . And if any of these honorable candidates for governor in their student days ever encountered radical intellectual criticism of the American capitalist system , it was truly like the proverbial water off a duck's back . That being said , the present governor seems to have an edge in CHARM - along with his dear mother.
