I have the consolation of having added nothing to my private fortune during my public service, and of retiring with hands clean as they are empty
Thomas Jefferson
You can have this back if you do your resear before the election 2008!

Jefferson was rich before he became president. But what I wish is that we had reasonable term limits so we don't have the same people running in every election. It wasn't meant to be a lifetime job.

I for one am so sick of the political power trip that goes on with these high society, well-to-do morons that are supposedly our public servants that I am tempted to quit voting. It's all a big game of money and power now. Lying, dishonest, filthy rich politicians concerned with their special interests and own power and wealth who say I make the rules and I know what's best for the people. Yes I wish someone in politics would vow to work for the people, play straight and honest and not fall right in line with "the game" when they are elected.
