I think there is a break down of trust generally, between people and politicians. I think that's come about for a whole variety of reasons.

When a politician bends the truth or a CEO breaks a promise, trust takes a beating.

Public office is supposed to be a public trust. This is a clear sign of the rampant corruption at the highest levels of the Republican leadership.

There's good and bad everywhere in any aspect in life. The only people who we can't really trust are politicians. Because those guys lie to everybody and constantly.

If you watch the news, you see politicians use human vulnerabilities to get in and earn people's trust.

Whether we agree with them or not, politicians aren't for trusting. They are for getting done what can be done to make really horrible problems into plain old lousy problems.

One of our most noble political tasks is to open up trust.

You see that's what I think is such a terrible, terrible betrayal, the trust that people have in government.

Politicians often lie.

To be fair, lying is part and parcel of public life. Every politician has lied about something because they are owned by the special interest groups that finance their elections.
