"All lives better" should be the ultimate goal in the political sphere, but it's not. That goal is drowned out by political agendas, political noise, political deception and all things political!
We the people have been forgotten, and are considered only a means to an end, which is political power! The political class is after nothing but the power to influence, manipulate and dictate the lives of its subjects, the people. The political system and its accompanying infrastructure no longer work for us. Indeed, we work for them. We work to pay the taxes that fund their agendas, and they keep raising those taxes on us.
