Exactly, Bobert! There ARE some political figures who actually try to make the system work FOR the majority of the people. Unfortunately, the very rich and the corporations and their lawyers are not part of the majority, and really don't like the system changed in any way that might make them 'less' super-rich. They don't want any updates to the Constitution or any regulation of banking or any restriction of how much they can spend on political campaigns.
I sorta see their viewpoint, but knowing how a bully thinks does not excuse how he pushes around the smaller kids.
