Politicians may have the best intentions but other agents have more power, for example I do believe Obama wasn't as bad as he turned out he just had to report to powerful capitalists. This ain't a socialist argument, it happens in most of the world, but US corporations are just way too powerful, and in the end they are the ones pulling the strings. I don't really want to go deeper as this is .... a light thread, then I'll just say that you have nice people spoiled by a system (call it economic, politic, social, lol i think the whole structure is fucked up) :) |
I think that many of the problems be traced back to the political system. You say that other agents have more power... but they only have that power in the government because they were given that power by the politicians. All of the lobbyists and whatnot in Congress are there because that is an effective method of getting politicians on their side... but the politicians are the one who decide to listen. I'm not saying that nothing is wrong with anything else, but I do think that the solution begins with fixing the government. And I could go into a lot more detail too, but you're right. That's best left for another thread.
