    If you understand how things work then you’d understand why that will never happen under the electoralists system.

    Even if we elect a “regular” person into a position of hierarchical power their commanding interests stop being tied to that of the people and instead become enamored with emboldening their power in order to maintain what meager concessions they have managed to claw out from the system in their initial campaign, which will inevitably shift their interests to the interests of the economy (i.e. the interests of the owning-class as we exist in a capitalist economy) as the government’s power is directly correlated to the strength of the economy.

    We don’t have a tax problem. We don’t have an income problem. We have a fundamental systemic problem.

      Yes this is the basic problem. Those in power will always serve themselves. It doesn’t matter what they did or who they were before they were given power, the moment they get power:, they’ll do whatever they can to keep it
