Really? Is this for real? Is there no end to the corruption of our leaders? Like said, Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.

It all starts from the lowest city council member and to the the White House. I now believe that most who aspire to be politicians are on power trips rather than wanting the best for their communities.

Some may start with good intentions, but once in office and realize the power they have, they become more about their lives and legacies. That,s why the Founding Fathers believed politicians should serve short time in office and go back to their livlihood.

Too bad they couldn,t forsee career politicians making such a mess of things and included term limits in the Constitution.

Sorry about the grammar and punctuation. I’m still learning how to use this tablet. Can’t find the apostrophe.

Okay, just found it.
