I’ve noticed lately that many politicians refer to themselves as public servants. Makes it sound pretty noble, selfless. Do you agree?


If they did this, then yes.

But they don't. They're in office 100% to serve themselves.

no, they are POS HR people that contribute nothing to the bottom line. They are more like actors trying to win supporters.

If by "public" you mean a very select group of large corporate interests with sizable lobby armies, then I guess so.

They are self servants. Nothing more for 90% of them.

I don't know what state or town you live in but I bet many here would be curious of the names of your district's state rep you voted for, as well as Sen/US Rep/Gov. Only who was on your specific ballot, not states away from your sphere of life

Public servants are

Police
Firemen
Garbage men
Teachers

It depends. Some have served the public well. Others, not so much.

The ones in D.C.? Absolutely not.

None of them. NONE, regardless the branch of government.

State and local levels, I’m sure there’s some that function as actual public servants.
