Possibly you didn’t notice, nearly half of the politicians now and more than half at prior times got elected by promising to fight the actions that you want them to take. Gripe about millionaires and billionaires all you want, that won’t change the truth that over half of eligible voters don’t know the difference between a representative and an alderman, and don’t care. Another large portion cast their ballot and figure that their “work” is done…it’s not, not by a long stretch. When the typical U.S. voter is as ignorant and feckless as they obviously are, politicians are under no constraints, and whining about how bad they are, how they won’t give us the things we want won’t change this.
