It is sad when I think of who will be the next President of the US. I don't feel that anyone that will be nominated truly understands what it is like to be an average American citizen. Is it possible for someone who always had everything or has never known what it means to struggle a bit, to truly understand the majority of the American public. Does our next President have to be a Yale or Harvard graduate or even a current politician? Do they have to be a millionare simply to qualify? Do they have to have influence over big businesses or have been partners in a big business? Big money represents about 1% of our population, and control the US Government. Which means the middle-class has no representation. I believe that if a middle-class person were to be voted in to the Presidency, there would be such an uproar. Most of these high powered, rich politicians see the Presidency as their birthright, instead of an opportunity to take care of the majority of its population.
