It's like a game of "Tit-for-tat": you cooperate with them they cooperate with you, you don't cooperate with them they don't cooperate with you. Learn to be a good actor, politicians do the same thing, They're phoneys, Politicians just say what you wan't to hear so you'll vote for them, but they would swindle you out of your money with no second thought.

If I have three pennies and I take two away how many do I have left?

Ahh now your learning.

Good boy, now heel, good dog.
