KMT Chairman and Taipei Mayor Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) has said that equal opportunity is the social capital that the KMT has given to Taiwan. It may be a nice phrase, but this equal opportunity only extends to the KMT nobility. Furthermore, Hu's equation of party service to government service has shown us how the KMT has legislated for its own benefit in a way that also reveals how it stole party assets and exploited the civil service. After Ma illegally sold KMT property, he talked loudly about reason and sense. Isn't this hypocrisy exactly what Hu is displaying?
