1. They don't need power so they can help people.

They want power for power's sake. Just look at Mitch McConnell. That is strictly what he's about. He will attack the Democrats ruthlessly until the GOP regain power, then he'll do anything he can to hold on to power.

So why does McConnell do this over and over again? It isn't about money, not really. He and his wife are quite wealthy and have more than they'll ever spend. He certainly isn't hanging on in the Senate so he can help the little guy. It's all about power, attaining it and keeping hold of it. It's extremely dangerous when amoral people get in charge of the powers of government. I don't know how we're going to dislodge these assholes so we can have a better government.
