Americans trusted their elected representative too long. They elected their reps on their words, not knowing that their actions would be the opposite to their words, once they got in power.
They were elected to serve the people, but once elected they forgot the same people that put them there and represented their own benefits.
Everything has a cycle and people chose to change the political cycle they trusted for so long. The sleeping lion has awaken and he made his roar heard. We the People are the ones who give you the power and pay for your power. How can we pay for you if you starve us? How can we trust your empty words again? Hungry people are the ones who start revolutions. Share the wealth is an old sentence used over the centuries. No one has ever seen a President or a King sharing his wealth with the people. Why? Is it because there is an ocean that separates the words SAY from the words DO IT?
