The people share part of the responsibility for voting for those politicians over and over again. Yes, they are falling for corporate messaging but they are also adults who should be able to vote out the politicians who deny funding for feeding children.

Unfortunately a lot of people are selfish pricks who would rather children starve than pay an extra dollar in taxes.
