How many of the politicians/parties that millions pay homage to give a damn about those millions of homage payers? Next to say getting elected, career politics vs single terms, insider congressional trading, K Street perks from trips to probably high end escorts where do you think their return loyalty to you, stacks up.?
Power is a drug and all current political systems turn control over to addicts and then wonder what happened. The vast majority don't give a damn about you or the principals they expose.
