No they didn't. They thought (1) they were exempt and (2) they know what's best for everyone else.
Don't just blame the dems. RINOs in DC were all in, as long as their insurance sponsors got their profits. Romney wouldn't even campaign for 47% of the voters, he was so sure they didn't have the capacity to accept his wisdom.
It's the elite, both political parties. To them we're a cash crop for schemes to enhance their wealth and power. Lying is okay because we're too dumb to understand their superior wisdom.
I don't know how it ends well, unless the new DC crowd takes on the cause of saving the nation and our Constitution. Has there ever in history been an elite that willingly gave up their excess power?
OK you were stupid.
I’m not and wasn’t.
