Are politicians really 'of the people'?

    Seems that our politicians these days are just completely clueless as to what life is like for the average person. They argue and bicker over what is best for us, while we suffer and they have cheuffer driven limos. I wonder just how possible it is for these politicians to know what's going on once they've reached a certain income level.

    Do you feel the politicians are in touch with the lives of regular people?

    No, none of them seek office to be a voice of the people. They just do it to further their career and make more money from lobbyists. The system the United States set up is a good one. The problem is that the players suck.

    I think they should end the party system, and only let people run as individuals. Too many voters vote for a party, without regards to the individual who represents that party.
