The illusion of choice is caused by vested interests having strong influence over who can be elected, in order to exercise aggregate control over the economic outcome, by using their market-maker advantage. The illusion is that voting 'correctly' leads to better economic outcomes for the public, but while it is possible to obtain individual differences, in aggregate the effect is still going to be the rich getting richer. Of course, we would prefer it if the rich don't get richer so quickly that it kills the host, but that's not the choice people think they're making. It's like trying to beat the house at gambling. Individual losses are possible, but the house wins anyway.
