I'm sorry but this just reads as vague pessimism to me > Lawyers are paid to defend their clients. Every politician is a lawyer by trade. No, that would be true if "people paid to defend their clients are Lawyers". Lawyers offer a specific service to client, distinct from bodyguards and others who provide defense. Politicians do want to get reelected, but there are many ways for that to be. Nothing about politics is inherently sublimely, or sleazy things like ALEC inevitable. It rather the due to very specific problems in the US such as terrible voting systems. > This is the expected result, anyway To whom?
