I am Tired of Politicians saying "We" instead of "I"

[Jadow]

It happens all the time, Marco Rubio just said "We will be releasing our income tax statements" Who is the we Marco? They are YOUR statements.

This is always said during political campaigns, we will do this, we will do that, etc... Really annoying.

First of all, he is married so there are multiple people who would be releasing their statement.

Secondly, I am pretty sure he wont be the one who actually releases to statements, his campaign will be doing that.

So yes, we is the correct word.
