i suspect most people are apathetic, and those who make the effort to be
informed about how the government disburses our tax revenues, often feel
powerless to do anything about it. it takes something like economic collapse
to elect someone who will better represent the middle class, but there are
still powerful forces to create obstacles to prevent genuine reform.

part of the reason government sometimes makes bad decisions is because it
attracts corrupt people, easily influenced by greedy, unscrupulous lobbyists.

some of whom are in bed with greedy, unscrupulous lobbyists, and others of that
ilk.
