Anyone here, deep in their heart, an Anarchist?

7. Yep, this is the way I see it too. The problem is, too many politicans anymore IMO

see themselves as in a special class wherein the opinion of and serving their constituents is of no importance ... and often they get this free pass because I think too many citizens are in a rut when it comes to voting for who is really the best.

The other major difficulty is money, sadly, our system is often based on who has the most money, and some candidates spend their own money for elections. That, does not serve the best interests of the constituents.

The US now has about 50% of the population living in poverty or on the border of poverty. To me, there is no way that millionaire + politicians serve the best interests of the 99%, no way at all. True, some politicians are exceptional, but many are not ... and when one looks at the favorable rating for congress, it is most assuredly quite dismal at about 13% approval rating.
