The powers that be make it so hard for the average person to get elected to Congress. These candidates are funded by big business and the insurance/healthcare/drug/tobacco/defense - need I go on. The whole election process is rigged. As for your insensitivity toward those who are poor, you sound like a real bureaucrat or an aspiring professional politician.

<<We elect the morons so it really is our fault. >> What are you talking about? Close to 45% of the people if not more choose not to vote because they feel there is no real choice or alternative. And the other 35-40% vote for the lesser of two evils. Do you call that real choice? I voted for Obama the first time. But no one the second time because I liked neither candidate. Obama became just a con man to me. He started out his first term with only 1.3M of net worth. Now after selling out and lying to the American People, he is worth so much more.
