I think it comes down to holding politicians accountable for what they say during a campaign and then what they do once elected. 

 What can a politician do to lower taxes?

I can’t wait to see these politicians fight over who can promise the most free junk!

Even politicians get that wrong.You might pay tradesmen and laborers several hundred to $1,000 or more for a day's labor.

By gaining public support, it puts pressure on politicians, police and even the tenants. 

Going up against that emotion with a bold and divisive voice, even if you are 100% technically correct, you will get absolutely trounced in the court of public opinion, (as you see here) and my fear is you will take others that don't run our businesses the same way, down with you, as laws get written and new politicians get elected. 

The politicians like it because it gets them votes. 

A dirty word among the politicians though.

,Sad but true:  our politicians (both elected and appointed) deem it more important to support those with emotional problems than those with physical problems.
