| I understand that, but I don't know that it's a politician's fault for selling it so much as it is the electorate's fault for buying it. So I'm saying it seems more like a gripe with representative democracy. No, the bible doesn't say that you should take from your neighbor and give to the poor, but it does say that you should give to the poor, and if enough people believe that and are willing to vote in politicians who will enforce that belief, then it's a problem with the system more than its a problem with the politician.
