We were quite foolish to allow the growth of a professional political class. Most of these bums are so rich that their salaries are just icing on the cake. How many of them have children in business raking in millions from their Congressparent’s connections? Certainly almost every Senator. Look at people like Biden and Obama. Never held a real job in their lives. Lifelong politicals who never had any other ambition except gain more power and steal more money.

Term Limits, Citizen Legislators. We might still save ourselves.

My home state (Texas) is sometimes ridiculed for only having a part-time legislature.

Apparently, the founding fathers of Texas couldn’t fathom the need for grown men to be employed full-time doing nothing but making rules for the rest of us.

I often feel they were on the right rack, and sometimes regret they didn’t follow the thought to its’ logical conclusion.
