Answer 1

Really a good question but the answer is of the obvious, in the interest of the voter stopped when the interest of the money took over do you know of a poor working politician winning a race, And if in the interest of the voters were at heart would you not think that a living wage and medical care for our families would be an upfront issue and not a vote to give them a raise and that if they think a person could really live off the fed min wage they would also be willing to do the same? that crime s committed against us by our own government come with punishment not more taxes that when they make the big mistake that we get the bill.that the answer to the problem is creating more debt to the taxpayers instead of paying back what we owe be just borrow more and that those running the show just print more checks to cover instead of a balanced check book we stay on major overdraft try that with your bank and the same government that will lock you up for bouncing a check at the local grocer will in turn continue to issue u a worthless check they really cant pay but make it a law to be accepted for cash, and allow a required commodity like electricity to be sold to you and if you don't make enough money to pay for allow the same to be cut off like needed heat in the winter a/c in the summer and will allow a person who works for low wages without medical insurance so i will assure you they have insurance paid for by those that dont so what do u think??

EXAMPLE: John F. Kennedy. Wanted to Pull out of Vietnam, and wanted to repeal the Federal Reserve Act.
This got him shot by the Military Industrial Complex, and the European Banking community.
You need to understand that many of our current political players have fallen out of the Counsel on Foreign Relations. This group has publicly announced their desire to create a tyrannical world government. So not all decisions are personal, or merely political, but a large group of them have an agenda that has been passed from generation to generation, to control the worlds nations.
The CFR has been placing people in American Government since the 1800's, hoping to assume total control over the Americas wealth, and human resources. Go ahead and see how many presidents, senators and congressmen are CFR.
These are the people writing laws that take your rights away, and get them passed as "RIDERS", so they don't even have the opportunity to a legislative debate, or get a chance to stand on their own merits. They are created with great malice for the liberty, and privacy of the American people.
The new national ID card is a perfect example of what I am talking about. It was attached as a rider, to a defense spending bill that no one would deny, so it was passed unethically

Answer 3

Hillary Clintons Healthcare plan, good example

People right now are VERY concerned about social healthcare

Hillary's Plan was shot down twice cause it STUNK BAD.

People are not paying attention to the details, so they think she's cool

Her public interest appears self serving.

Answer 4

First self activity of path. Then comes occasion activity. And final the well-known public activity. Which of path is the authentic opposite of ways it may be. What we've enable politicians do is forget approximately they're the representatives of each and every of the persons in the section they're elected from. What occasion they signify could be on no value in any respect. one and all of their section would not belong to a minimum of one occasion. and because they're meant to be serving, self activity could be relegated to 2nd place at terrific.
