It's not something exclusive to democracy or capitalism either. Look at any governing system in the world and you'll see the exact same thing.

Hell, I haven't seen a difference regardless of president since Clinton. It's all been the same to me (aside from Clinton's housing market fiasco), but even then it never actually effected me at all. Clinton was Bush was Obama was Trump. They pretend to care about certain groups, but really they don't. The only one I think who might actually care is Trump, but not because he cares about the people, but because he cares about the overall perception of himself (even then it's for self-benefit).

All you can really do is live and let live. Even if people managed to radically change the governing system or the people running it, it'll literally end up in the same situation anyways.


Yep. These are career politicians we're talking about. They've all become filthy rich in the meantime. How? Literally by shoehorning entire strata of society into predefined categories (which defy rational thought) and letting them duke it out while they line their pockets with money.
