Does America seem to be more divided today than any other point in time since the Civil War? It would seem so, and it is by design.

Over the years politicians have lost sight of the fact that they are civil servants and not rulers. Clearly there is an issue when those who hold office want for nothing and that makes them feel superior to their fellow citizens. In turn, those in office view the citizenry not as constituents to serve, but as a means to an end. We are here to cast our votes for them to ensure they stay in power by saying one thing and then doing whatever is best for them, not what is best for us.
