9. Bravo!

Our side is just as married to the global economy and big business as the other so why do we keep expecting them to act on our behalf if they have nothing to gain from it?

These people are P-O-L-I-T-I-C-I-A-N-S, careerists who need to get re-elected and to have the support of those who sit next to them. It'd be great to dream we come first on their list of priorities but I've seen no evidence of that.

What would the political landscape look like with no lobbyists?
