I think it absolutely makes sense. Look at how things are going now with career politicians. The govt. in the U.S. was set up originally so we ALL served. You and I should have been Congressman Robbie & Senator Baddog at one point in our lives.
But now you have Senate races with hundreds of millions of dollars needed to even be a candidate. There is talk that Obama's re-election campaign has raised 1 BILLION dollars!
When that kind of money is involved to try and secure a relatively low paying govt. job...then there is no way that it isn't 100% corrupted.
How much better is Harry Reid at being a Senator than any other intelligent citizen of Nevada? How much better is John Boehner at being a Congressman than any other intelligent citizen of Ohio?
And for that matter...are either of those guys really even citizens of their states? I bet neither of them spends more than a few days in their respective states. They live in Washington D.C. and that's where they always are.
The only thing that our politicians are "experienced" in is corruption and graft. None of what they do is the mental equivalent of being a doctor or a scientist.
The average person with intelligence could make decisions on budgets. And they do every day of the week in the private sector. You know...that place that none of our politicians have ever worked. That's why we have a giant deficit and out of control spending and govt. over reaching.
They don't give a shit about us who work because most of them never have and never will. They just make a career out of spending tax dollars, funneling the most money they can to their friends in their state and enjoy their nice health care.
