Polls show that consistently the two greatest issues on peoples' minds are corruption and jobs. The first is not even addressed, the second is only given lip service.
whenever I talk to Amerivans the one thing that comes up in politics is corruption. You realize that it is 90% of the problems, and every country has their own type.
And everyone agrees that the system is incredibly corrupt. Politicians get people to virulently disagree about gun control and other issues, but when you ask people what they actually think 90% say they favor background checks. When you use code words like "welfare" people don't support government assistance, but when you ask should mothers with children be given support the answer is a resounding yes.
When you poll on actual issues such as a living wage, assistance for the working poor, improving environmental conditions, getting rid of money in politics there is widespread agreement among regular people, but messages are so often obfuscated that the actual will of the people is rarely reflected in public policy.
How can we overcome endemic corruption in order to get the American Democracy to reflect the actual will of the people?
