With respect. Let's not make these politicians out to be victims of the system. This so-called system is not some elusive creature wandering around seeking whom he may devour. The system was created, tinkered with, modified and nurtured by the very folks who created it. We, who are patronizingly refered  as main street, are the actual victims of a cozy relationship between statist and corporatists.

.......and I don't have a lot of hope that there will be any change.
