Why the majority of politicians are jokes

Because they don't own the business, that is why they are not "entitled" to anything. What risk do they take? They still expect their paycheck, even of the company loses money.
I never had an employee give me any money when my business lost money that month. They still wanted to get paid, how greedy can you get.

Socialists think they're owed far much more than they are really worth...

income assistance programs are not socialism: they don't even interfere with the free markets

Redistribution of wealth from the "rich" to the "poor" is socialism by any rational definition. The government preventing economic collapse by investing in businesses is not the same thing.

Actually that idiot socialist Roosevelt extended the Depression a good 5 years longer than it would have been. WW2 got us out of it finally.

Exactly, FDR's New (raw) Deal was bad for America and we're still paying the price.

Why the majority of politicians are jokes I've been thinking about this lately...the overwhelmingly vast majority of the leaders we elect are idiotic, pompous stooges, mindlessly obedient to whatever social norms or fucked-up status quos happen to be in place, incapable of innovative thought or political discourse. I think true intellectuals or thinkers intimidate the public. Noam Chomsky should be the president of the United States, but he'd never get elected, because he has a mind that's actually capable of questioning the moronic Rating: 5
