(8,200 posts)The only concern that our so-called representatives have is getting reelected so they can continue to suck the government's tit. They only leave when they are assured of getting a multi-million dollar job to lobby their former colleagues. It has only become a system of greedy immoral bastards that don't give a tinker's dam about the welfare of the rest of us. I don't believe, as demonstrated by President Washington, that the founders ever thought that becoming a representative was a life-time job and path to fabulous wealth. This diseased system will only continue until the public demands that the term limits imposed on the office of the president by extended to both houses. It could only be accomplished by forcing a general election vote because the members of congress would never impose these limits on their own that would deprive them of their path to wealth.
