In the United States and elsewhere, elected governments used to take care of the people, but now, like companies colluding against their customers to keep out disruptive newcomers, they have become a separate interest group. Political parties exchange benefits and ignore those who elected them.
在美国以及其他地方，民选政府通常都会照顾好自己的人民，但如今，就跟那些背着顾客密谋打压“不守规矩”新竞争者的企业一样，政府自己都变成了一个独立的利益集团。政党之间进行利益交换并把那些选举它们的人晾在了一边。
