2. You have too much faith in the American voter and taxpayer.

Since Reagan's influence, most people only care about themselves. "What's in it for me" was the mantra of the 1980s and it's been carried to its extreme since. Until there is monumental shift to actually caring about people even if it doesn't affect you personally, we will continue to be an narcissistic, nihilistic, psychopathic society. My evidence is the 20 somethings of today who seem to only care about influencers on social media (I'm not going into how that has destroyed empathy and caring in the world) only caring about their own clicks and followers and people living in their own safe space echo chamber.
