Bad enough to be led to vote for policies that subvert social justice?
Bad enough to empower individuals and interests who profit from human suffering on an immense scale?

Krugman writes: "Politicians who support policies that would raise their own taxes and strengthen a social safety net they're unlikely to need aren't being hypocrites; if anything, they're demonstrating their civic virtue." 

EXCERPT: 

According to the Federal Reserve, 40 percent of U.S. adults don’t have enough cash to meet a $400 emergency expense; a much larger number of Americans would be severely strained by the kinds of costs that routinely arise when, say, illness strikes, even for those who have health insurance.
