People act in their own best interest...nearly every time. People like Hoffa (and most politicians) are loved because they're able to align their own interests with somebody else's.

Hoffa did some good for the working man, but he also helped himself (and others, including violent criminals) first. CEOs, politicians (on both sides), religious leaders, etc are no different. We put way too much faith on people who don't really care about us.
