text: why don't we vote for people that can relate to us common folk? why would we vote for rich people who can not relate to what its like just being normal, working from check to check?  i get the sense that these politicians don't care about us.  i feel like were being fooled.  when i get that feeling i am usually right.  do you think a guy like bush cares about us with all his heart?  like a leader should,  a guy like abe lincoln, i did'nt know him, but it seems like that guy actually might have cared people need to vote in every election. that way you can get people in that aren't controlled by the party. if you vote along party lines that's all you get. if only 40% of people vote, that means that 60% of the people don't even care who gets elected. how can you have a government that cares about the people if they know they won't vote anyway? the rich corporations will pay them millions to push through their agendas.
