Steve, I'm not sure what advice to give you.
My personal experience with Rabbis isn't much different than yours. The Rabbis I've met personally seem to be more concerned with material needs and political correctness than spirituality. They give priority to keeping their biggest financial supporters happy. That's why I focus on studying the classic texts, acquiring knowledge and practicing religion accordingly.
And being Jewish isn't a panacea. Your viewpoint may be a case of the "grass looking greener on the other side of the fence."
