It is true. I guess there are some people that go into politics with a genuine interest in making life better for the people, but they are few and far between, and the majority of them are corrupted by power. The entire point of politics is to keep your job, or to get someone else's job. It's entirely self serving. The interests of the people are irrelevant. If they manage to actually benefit the people in one of their self-serving endeavours, it's nothing more than a bonus and an oppurtunity to win some more votes, but it's certainly not their goal.

I think most politicians believe they are making people's lives better - whether they like it or not ;-)
