I heard this before, something like 30% of americans pay attention to politics, 20-30 years ago it was like 60%.
the politicians no longer fear losing their jobs because the can easierly mold the public(because frankly the public is ignorant).
ask your self: who's the secertary of state?, who's your congressmen?, how many supreme court judges are there? name them. what's the 17th amendment, and how has it affected america? when did america win independence from great britian?......
you go out and ask people and the majority of them wont be able to answer most of those questions. the public is ignorant, and this is what politicians want. because the dumber the public the more money/power you can stuff in your pocket without knowledge. oh also politicians drove for a government run education(like communism, look it up in the communist's manifesto), creating a dumber and dumber public.
