As a matter of fact, since they benefit
disproportionately, it is in their interest to vote those into office who
promise the most. This is not a healthy situation in which our country

And since the 75% have more votes than the 25%, a fact of which
professional politicians are most certainly aware, I don't see the
situation correcting itself without constitutional amendment. And,
since the pro pols have a large influence on that process, I don't
think it's wise to hold your breath waiting for that to happen.
