Misconception: - Politicians and Elected Officials Political Representation of the People

Misconception: - Politicians and Elected Officials are the Political Representation of the People...
It is clear to me. Is it clear to you? Elected officials are similar to dictators and sovereigns rulers of dynastic monarchies. Politicians and Elected Officials are the most part personalities and iconographic characters. They promote themselves as members of the ruling. Politicians and Elected Officials are members of the privileged class. Although they were birthed by the underprivileged working class; they consider themselves and expect to be considered and preferred over, above and beyond the welfare of the masses. Clearly, Politicians, Elected Officials and members of the ruling class prefer their deeds and utterances to be above reproach of their constituencies and/or the electorate. They expect all the trappings and patronages historically afforded to sovereigns as known in the recorded history of civilizations dating back to the Nile valley higher culture. The Elected officials are concerned and committed to the following;
1. Their personal welfare,
2. The welfare of their loved ones
3. Patronage and special interests of those supported their occupancy of offices.
4. Their preferred ideologies,
5. Their personal and political legacy.

Rarely, do the representatives perpetuate, accentuate and advocate the needs of their constituency. Obviously national and/or community development are spearheaded by those who are considered unsung heroes. Certainly, history has revealed that ordinary people, and primarily unknown people have made tremendous sacrifices thereby contributing to the development of humanity as you and I have come to understand it during the course of several millenniums.
The shenanigans of the Democrats and Republicans currently being played out in the legislative bodies in Washington, D.C. are prime examples of the foolishness of elected officials placing themselves above and beyond the needs of the American people. Their haggling is reminiscent of fishmongers at Bourda Market in the late 1960s. Obama is the spokesperson of the position the democrats embrace. He is eloquent. That’s the best thing Obama has going for himself and the Democrats. If this debt ceiling argument is not settled before it is past due, the American people need to make a note of it and recall the episode when they are faced with the ballots in November 2012. People need to deliver their nations from their primary adversaries - their elected officials.
In the majority of the so-called developing nations on earth the politicians are opportunistic. They simply prey upon the masses while extending patronage to a selected minority of the populace. I believe it is accurate to conclude politicians are by nature, parasitic. They are corrupt. They are so vain. They believe, think and accept the national identity is reflects their personification. In simple words, everything is about them. More over the fortunes of the nations are linked to their impress.
I believe in the concept of social reformation as articulated by the honorable African teacher George Granville Monah James in his conclusion of the earth shattering text, Stolen Legacy, published in 1954.
It is high time. The vast majority of earth’s seven billion people take the necessary time out to research the known struggles of the underprivileged working class and aboriginal people of every nation on earth during the last five millenniums and take the necessary steps to ensure improved conditions of life is accessible to themselves and their off springs. I articulate the ancient Kemtian philosophy of the greatest good of man.
