That is a great truth for sure. What is not so obvious in the photo is the truth that lies in the fact that the people are holding up the politicians. Until we remove our support, they will continue to poop on us.
Charles Schultz had it right, many years ago with his cartoon "Charlie Brown." One of my favorite political lines is from "You're Not Elected, Charlie Brown."
Linus van Pelt:
If I'm elected school body president, I will purge the kingdom! My
administration will free us from our spiritual Babylon! Under my
administration, I will rid the school of all false idols in high
places!...
(After having a talk with the school principal, Linus realizes that the principal (think lobbyists) won't let him keep those promises.)
Sally Brown:
He sold out! We elected him, and he sold out! They're all the same!
Promises, promises! You elect them, and they weasel out of their
promises!
