That goes for most politicians. Few have ever held a real job and most American politicians are bought and paid for by big business.

Watched a documentary on Trump last night and it's clear why he appeals to so many. Over the last 50 years, the lower middle class and working class have become poorer and many out of a job. This is the majority section of voters.

Uncontrolled migration.
Uncontrolled population rise
Uncontrolled imports.
Uncontrolled export of jobs.
Automation.

Have all contributed to most being poorer. The existing parties have no solution and are often hand in hand with the process.

What the major concern for everyone? Family, future, health, security. The future for most American families looks bleak, Healthcare is a problem and rising crime always accompanies rising poverty.
