Politic Behind Closed Doors

If a politician wants to do business behind closed doors. He must think himself greater than the average citizen. Now if this is so, what do people who back him think of the average voter of the USA.
The clever minds of the citizens that vote in the USA, think if we are left out of the loop, we will lose when it comes to the changes that politicians make.
One politician has made the statement, behind closed doors, because he does not believe you are intelligent to make decisions. We the people will be left out in the cold to freeze to death.
It is sad when a politician says, "We cannot talk to the average citizen about their own well being. Because
we know what is best for the people of the US."
It is pitiful that man/woman running for political office, really believes this about the voters.
