Generally good, honest men and women who, despite the misperceptions and lies of special interests and the proletariat, want to help the people they represent. Sure, some politicians views do not represent the majority, but that is the people's fault for not being more proactive with their candidate. Some politicians are also corrupt, but not the majority. If you really want to understand the average politician, look at your mayors and state senators. They usually aren't funded by mega-corporations and lobbies, and they tend to come from average middle to upper-middle class homes.
TL;DR Not every politician is an asshole, get to know them before you judge them.

Average Joe: Politicians are all selfish cocksuckers!
Me: That's not true, I grew up with a politician for a father, and I've met and known politicians of varying degrees of importance all my life. Once you've had governors over for dinner or attended a fund raiser, you realize that they're just ordinary people who care enough about society to stand up and take a bunch of crap from people like you to do the right thing.
Average Joe: Then explain why unemployment is so high!
Me: Look at African nations, they have unemployment over 30%, we're doing pretty damn well. The reason we have so many problems is people have different ideas about how to fix America.

Get the Political Elite mug.A system where the politician is always above the taxpayer and does not have to conform to the same rules or laws as the taxpayer. This kind of politics embraces the idea that a standard of living determined by a specific political party takes precedent over every form of economics. Yet the political party is always above the designated standard of living. Puts the well being of nature on the same living standard as a human being and uses this point as a facade to rally voters and lobbyist. When in fact the politician cares nothing of the subjects in point but only of the climb to success on the political ladder. Thus is the reason for irresponsible and frugal spending on natural and social protectionist measures in time of massive debt. The oppression and use of voters trust and taxes for political power. Plus the distortion of funding in the educational direction. ex. The more money the government dumps into education the worse the graduation rate becomes therefore justifying more government spending in education and the creation of more government jobs.
In Liberal Hippy Politics, Congress is not subject to health reform benefits or failures. Yet congress is paid for by the tax payer. President Obama. Nancy Pelosi. John Edwards. These people all live very wealthy at the expense of taxes. Communism, Fascism, Marxism, Totalitarianism. Any dictatorship. Charlie Wrangle's multiple scams. The use of propoganda to fool and confuse the voter.

Labelled race Black, White, Chinese, etc. (Don't label us, we're human.)
Every time a group of people are labelled. We are divided.
Have you ever heard the saying divided We fall, united we stand strong and tall?

We are slowly being labelled and this is causing havoc, wars, and disrespect. Around the world.
