Heh...That is the least of their problems!
You're actually spot on. I don't want to be unfair and extrapolate my experiences to all politicians, but those I have interacted with tended to be insecure people who held themselves in the middle of the universe. Narcissism appears to be highly over-represented among politicians. Worse, is that leftist politicians want to take away your ability to differentiate yourself based on your efforts. They want everyone to be equal, under them. They have never gotten beyond the need to have a gold star placed after their name.
