    Yes, aside from their senility, our politicians are simply way too out of touch to comprehend the average American’s issues. Spent most of their life in politics with the easiest 6 figure salary (plus bribes) you can have.

    Granted politicians will probably remain out of touch but I’d like to imagine it’d be better

      Yeah. Hard for them to relate when they all grew into wealth, lived sheltered lives, spend all day doing office work/politics.

      Let them live off of 40k a year and see how their demeanor changes.
