"Representatives" in the U.S. government no longer represent the citizens at all — they represent the lobbyists that pay for their votes.
Logically, this behavior should result in the representatives being voted out of office.
However, the two party system combined with the unbelievably high cost of running for office makes it nearly impossible for representatives who don't fall in line with the status quo to receive the campaign financing necessary to be elected.
It's a rotten system and won't go away until campaign finance laws are reformed.
