Here is the problem. Some who enter politics may have alturistic motives. My belief is the vast majority don't. Private jets, almost unlimited power and we the people work till we are dead or at least crippled and get tossed a few worthless cookies tossed in our direction.
So what are you advocating, that someone throw more at your direction? That is socialism and it doesn’t work.
How about working, saving, creating businesses, relying on yourself not the government?
