The 80/20 Rule

The Pareto principle or the 80/20 rule states that for many events 80% of effect is due to 20% of the causes.

Now plug that ratio into government. 20% of the government is going to care 80% of the time. Conversely, 80% of the government is going to care 20% of the time.

And people wish to play those odds?
