I can't recall any leader who speaks for the public good. All I hear is leaders who pander to special interests. The major social issues today really are nothing more than hot topics to keep the public eye off the ball, dividing us, while others divide up the spoils. We have State and Local governments promoting for financial rewards alcohol consumption, gambling and smoking. Concerned parents and the interests of good people have been lost in the divisive political environment. The special interests and extremists are being rewarded, and the common hard working American is paying for everyone else's party.
What I'm saying here is the stats bares out the fact that profits are higher, the rich are richer, the poor poorer and the common working American is falling farther and farther beyond in providing security for the family.
It's an environment where the public good has been forgotten.
