The problem with this idealistic idea was that over time the person could get co-opted by the system and become part of the problem. Is this Obama's fate or will he keep some of his ideals and bring about some good changes that help the ordinary tax payer.
I'd say it's even worse in Canada and our government has very little power since NAFTA.
