While bribery is one of the big problems, it is often based on the fact that a politician has been around (and groomed) for a long time. That's one reason why a professional politician is a danger to society. The other point is that most politicians have never experienced real life.
Look at the US: guys from rich homes, having studied law and politics at prestige universities where they started building up on political contacts, and have been nothing but politician since then. Some have had political offices for 40, 50 years. And not a single hour of real life experience.
Sadly it's a reflection of the values Americans hold. In that sense, we reap what we sow.
We certainly don't want the ignorant populist candidate like Donald which was a knee-jerk reaction to the very sentiment you raise here (not to be confused with an educated populist like Bernie).
I think, "dAE hAtE pOliTiCiaNS?" misdirects our focus, when the real focus is: why do we keep electing these people? Why do we think businessmen and lawyers are the apex of society and not, say, teachers and scientists?
Talking about politicians generally misses the fact that the vast majority of our problems for decades has stemmed from one single party and one single archaic ideology.
