You perfectly answered why you do not live in a democracy.
Actually, you have about a 1 in 50,000 chance of ever voting on or having the ability to introduce anything to do with government.
Try at the municipal level, your best odds are there.
Of and by the way, unless you actually write the check in your name and sign it, nobody works for you! Don't believe me? Go to Queens park/Parliament hill/local municipal offices and try to fire someone. If you do, you'll be kissing the pavement real fast buddy, or better yet, spending the night in jail!
