The problem is, that many of the politicians in high positions are corrupt, bought by companies, and/or only went into politics, because they couldn't get a productive job. There are politicians, who never in their life had a proper job, were born wealthy and never had to work like someone in a productive proper job has to. There may be exceptions, of course, but over and over again, when one checks the background of politicians in high positions, one finds out, that they simply inherited a lot, and never worked in the field they are making decisions about, nor actually in any other field. They "just became politicians". And even then they misuse funds, cars for private trips, first class tickets on means of transportation, let themselves be bought by lobbies, have prospect of some corporate board later, have even more side income than they are being already paid for their badly done job as a politician, and so on and on. Many one could outright call despicable. The problem is, that we let them do it. Going into politics is such a clusterf' that no normal person even wants to do it any longer. It only attracts those kinds of person we see there. Others are sidelined or never join politics in the first place. Then we also don't vote/kick/protest them out of office the moment we hear about their crimes.
