Does politics really reflect what the people want?

I don't believe they do. Everyone seems to have a hidden agenda. My opinion is that all the money people have the politicians in their pocket. That's why we keep getting more and more of the same ol' same ol'. I have voted every election (city, county, state, national) since I came of age to vote. Mucho years, hun, and it still seems to be the same. No one seems to have any hope, that is why voters are so apathetic. That's why the turnouts are so low.
