Why are you saying this? Who's the target audience of this bs? What makes you say that if it's demonstrably false? Elected politicians don't keep their promises, they just don't.

If your politicians aren’t afraid of losing the next election

Is Trump scared to loose the next election?

what is wrong with me hiring someone to hire more people?

It's perfectly fine, but unrelated to the question at hand. You don't hire politicians.

What is your counterargument other than “no”?

"No" is actually a stronger argument than yours bc you're making a positive statement here and the burden of proof is on you.

You can’t own people, you never did, what are you trying to ask here?

I dunno. I guess your initial analogy was shit that explained nothing. Don't use analogies then.
