Politicians were pencilled in by the founding fathers to protect ourselves from ourselves. If we could vote to nuke the buhjeezus out of North Korea once and for all... well it would certainly be a different world all around.
the goverment is supposed to enforce the will of its people, but this is rarely the case, that's why we tend to avoid taxes instead of paying some punkass congress member a new mercedes
don't get me wrong, I pay my taxes but this is just my opinion..
it would be for the best if we had no politicians and decide about everything via public voting polls
