I totally agree that Jefferson did not use politics to become wealthy like today’s pols. Same thing with Hamilton. In fact, these people became poor because of politics. Whether we side with Jefferson or Hamilton in their many arguments, we can all agree (at least us Freepers can) that they and the other Founders saw politics as a public service, not a means to gain power and wealth for themselves.
