> Politicians need to be taught that they serve at the pleasure of the people, and when they stop doing what they are told, they will no longer be employed.

I have seen very little evidence that this is true, at least in the last 50 years or so. Sure, there are isolated recalls here and there, but the vast majority suffer no repercussions regardless of how they act.

A single vote every few years is a piss-poor way of making your voice heard, but it's what we have. The current state of affairs makes it seem clear that our system does not work well, regardless of what we were taught in Civics class.

Most people don't have time or know how to protest even when they are pissed about law changes. There should probably be a class on this in grade school.

That coupled with deep pocket companies supplying nearly 90% of campaign financing to elected officials narrows the choices to the point the voters can never get a candidate which truly represents their interests.
