excellent point.
Most Americans were against Obamacare, yet it was stuffed down our throats. Most Europeans were against the full EU integration, yet the kept doing votes until they got the result they wanted. Most Americans favor a flat tax, balanced budget, at least some limits on abortion, and many other things. The Irish people didn’t want to be responsible for the irresponsible toxic assests of bankers, yet their politicians passed a law guaranteeing the banks, with taxpayer money.
...when the politicians serve special interests instead of the will of the majority, the majority gets screwed.
In our system, politicians need big money to stay in office. Therefore, those who control the money control politics. They use this control to funnel ever-increasing quantities of money in their direction while waging hidden warfare against their only enemy, the people.
