“That's one of the biggest issues that we see in the question of governments right now, I think, in the Western world. Is that increasingly all of our elected officials are pulled from the same class. These aren't normal people. I don't want to say they're all terrible people, but at the same time, they're not like you and me. These are people who have sort of a nine to five working history.” PeopleThinkingWorldWantGovernmentClassIssuesFiveLike YouTerribleRight NowNormalWesternNineOfficialsWestern WorldElected Officials Author:Edward Snowden
