If everybody could think like that...
the problem is not with the politicians but rather with ourselves. We the people have the power to throw out politicians. All we have to do is vote. The problem is that stupid people want stupid things. Most of us do not understand what we need only what we want, and what we want is almost never the right thing. This gives a foothold for bad politicians to get into office and gain power, they give us what we want and take away what we need. Like pulling the rug out from under our feet we don't notice till it's too late because we always focus on our wants and forget about our needs.

Good politicians don't give us what we want thus they never get into office. we never want what we need because what we need is hard, what we need is difficult, it requires effort from us or that what we need takes away what we want. Even if they do get into office we tie their hands with matters which cancel each other out. We want better education, better services, improved infrastructure, and we want lower taxes. You ask for security but demand privacy. You blame the authorities for their inaction when you yourselves are the ones who tied their hands.
