I actually did believe he was serious about stopping it --- at first when he was first elected but he proved immediately that he had different goals that didn't involve making any real changes in that system or making life better for the people there. He had no intention of doing anything that would stop the big drug money coming in.
The money is just too much for a man without morals and integrity.
Nope. And pushing the little people north generates the other revenue stream that the oligarchy dips into.
And those are the people he's been working for all along. In the end, he couldn't cross them. He would have ended up dead. Better to forget all the reform chatter, and just keep the uber-class happy.
