    Politics isn’t about solving problems. It’s about money and power. That’s it.

      Politics is about getting people to work together towards a goal. This applies from the UN all the way down to community gardens. The power and money seeking are a corruption of its purpose.

        and

        The power and money seeking

        are the same thing. Your goal may be to help people. The goal of conservatives is to help themselves. That’s why they think liberals are misguided.

        They think “Stupid liberals helping others, they’re idiots. They could be helping themselves!”
