Why do we elect....?

Not the hugest George Carlin fan. Find he can be cantankerous and way too radical for my tastes. But, the dude is funny. No question about that.

Saw one of his routines on TV years ago and it has always stuck with me. He asked, "Why do we elect these rich a**holes?" He furthered this by noting that "... they don't give a f*ck about you!"

He has a great point. Who has less interest and less to gain in your well being than some billionaire?
