Lets start with how our political leaders view the citizens. Politics in essence is the distribution of limited resources to unlimited want. As a consequence, politicians views their job as determining who gets what. The question then is what do they believe are requirements to be distributed to all and what do they believe are benefits to be distributed to some.
Lets go back to how they view you. Firstly, they view you as stupid and uninformed. You see, they have all the inside information and you don't. The thousand plus pages of the Patriot Act were presented as if they had just come up with them; but, in reality they had been worked on for years and presented to congress with congress only having a day or two to read them before approving them. What about the enhanced scanners at airports that were instituted after the shoe bomber failed. Well, they started rolling them out within a week and had hundreds more in warehouses. Go back and see how quickly they went out. While the establishment may have been waiting for an excuse to do these things, the public was completely unaware that these plans had been made years in advance. They didn't just start designing and testing and manufacturing the scanners until after the shoe bomber. They couldn't do that much work in a week if everyone worked on them.
Long before things happen people make plans, contingency plans. While the plans are not widely disseminated in advance, they are discussed by our "leaders" of politics and industry. Yep, they see you as ignorant and gullible because you don't have the inside information and they do. They also see you as too lazy and stupid to understand their plans. In fact, they fear if you knew their plans you might stop them from going through with them. Imagine how large an investment and how much time it took to build all those scanners just waiting for the right time to implement them. Another question you should consider is why didn't the people who actually manufactured them, the workers, say anything to the news. Well, they may have; but, it didn't get reported nationally. In fact, most people working at those plants never thought to ask why, they were just happy to have a job.
Because they view you as ignorant and because they fear you, they also believe the majority of people are evil. Hillary spoke for more than herself when she said that the only reason people voted for Bernie was to get women in bed with them and the rest just wanted free stuff. It wasn't Trump that said that, it was Hillary. We already know what she has said and continues to say about Trump voters and those two groups make up well over half of the nation.
They don't trust you to pick the best leaders. Partly because they don't think you know what is best for you and partly because they believe they are the only people that should run this nation and this world. They view you as sheep to be kept in place and from expecting too much.
