Here is a question

[annon123]

One area where there is a divergence is this. I don't think most DC politico's and bureaucrats really care about the folks they "serve". To many, this is just a job with almost no accountability.

Legislation and regs rarely convey the rhetorical promises of "we are here to help you" when the folks that benefit are often disconnected from the promised gift.

Likely true

And don't think that I am anti-profit. Companies that fail to make a profit will eventually fail.

Even non profits have to make a profit or they will fail. One difference is they are required to sink their profits back in to the non-profit rather than give it out to shareholders as the for profits do.

My belief is the majority of the politico's and bureaucrats are self-serving benevolent dictators who could care less about their constituents.

Isn't that the truth.... sigh.
