    Politicians don’t give a fuck about the middle class though. To get rich after holding public office, you need to get in bed with the currently rich

    Even if they are not completely corrupt: it’s easier to talk to a couple of mega corp CEOs instead of those of thousands of small companies (who employ the most people in total). So policy will always favor large corps. And that’s where the obscenely rich are.

      Until people won’t vote a socialist party things will go the way you’ve described. People can’t childishly complain about politicians when they have voted them. In America, during the elections, a meager minority go to vote. Until people won’t become politically active, why should things change?

        If you think any socialist politician would behave differently, you’re just naive. Look at every socialist ever. Don’t think they care about you just because they publish a good-sounding agenda.
