People generally want to either discuss politics or avoid the subject like the plague. I feel compelled at this time to delve into the subject. Many politicians are as disliked as used car salesmen, lawyers, cockroaches, etc. They are often thought of as a necessary (or unnecessary) evil.
What I want to know about politicians is this: If “we the people” elect them to represent us in the process of governing our nation in a way that best serves our interests, regardless of party, then why do they often ignore us and simply fight one another? And why do the things they do benefit themselves politically, and or financially, and do little or nothing to help “we the people” in any way? Also why are most of them very wealthy when they are elected to serve the citizens, not to build personal wealth? I think I’d like a position where I could get rich while helping my fellow man. I’m one of those crazy people who believes you should (literally) get what they deserve.
If Republican, Democrat, Independent, or socialist, purpose and goal is the same ( to keep us safe, strong, free, and prosperous ) WHY are they intent upon destroying each other? And when we, through our democratic system have duly elected those we believe harbor our ideals and desires seem NOT to be doing what we elected them to do, what are WE to do? They are supposed to be doing our will, not theirs!
