Yup. There are probably a handful of major corporations that run this world. Politicians are in their back pockets, repubs and dems.
Coach is too stupid to realize this.
Some may have good intentions, but then they realize how the game is played, and who they must "bend over for", the problem is, they must convey to the public, via their "charisma" what they will do that is good for the public. So, it's kinda like convincing a child that the "bad tasting purple medicine is good for you", or that "the shot won't hurt that much, I'm right here.", convincing the public is the true politicians artform, everything else is behind closed doors.
