Topic of My Choice: A politician's job is to get financial support from the rich and votes from the poor by promising to protect each of one of them from the other.
A friend of mine posted this on facebook a few weeks ago. In a nutshell, it is true. Running a political campaign takes a lot of money and getting donations from wealthy people is required in most election runs. However, those donations also come quid-pro-quo with a request of the politician.
If the politician doesn't get people to vote for them, he will not be elected. If the politician takes money from a contributor that will affect a large number of votes, is he doing himself a disservice?
I think this is why most politicians have turned out to be liars recently. It is nearly impossible to have a personal agenda. The agenda of a politician is always going to be slanted away from their personal views and influenced by either money or votes. If we found an honest politician, we could have a solid government leader. Unfortunately, it is hard to get that person elected.
