Consider politics. We, citizens, elect other citizens to represent us in office. Is it nonsensical to then suggest that these citizens we voluntarily choose to elect are not acting in the best interests of those that put them into office? The problem is a typical one. The vast majority of people are motivated by their own intimate interests. Elevate them to power and that not only becomes even more true, but their interests also change.
