You still don’t get it.
You shouldn’t talk down to people here as if you the only one that observes they are free to choose what they do in ‘the private sector’. People here know that and are smarter than you think.
What you are missing and where you are going offtrack is it thinking people are judging what someone has chosen to do in the private sector. They’d are not judging this.
What people are doing is CONFIRMING a prior judgment that was done at the polls. Cantor has already been judged. People had their suspicions about his motives. Now it is ‘confirmed’ that he was in it for himself. Now if you’ll believe people should not judge the motives of their elected reprentatives, then you’ve both a problem.
This is similar to a congregation that rids itself of a minister who is rumored to be homosexual. After the minister is put out, if said minister joins the LGBT Alliance and is seen with a homosexual partner, then it is ‘confirmed’ to the members of the congregation that there previous judgment was valid.
Note to self. Android smartphone keyboard and suggested spellings and sentence compounds are unpredictable. I am typing from a handheld and can’t control well the fillins and bad grammar. Need to look past obvious errors to get the gist of the message.
No. I don’t get it. Cantor was defeated for re-election. I get that. Cantor had lost touch with his constituents. I get that. Cantor was on the wrong side of the immigration issue. I get that.
The LGBT/minister comparison I think was a bit of a stretch that I don’t get. If we’re going to make comparisons, let’s at least stick with similar situations. I brought up the comparison with Sen. Phil Gramm. Someone else brought up the comparison with Gov. John Kasich. Which are reasonable comparisons.
I have no issues with Cantor finding a new job and supporting his wife and children. No issue with him making serious money. No issue with him joining Moelis. If there really is an issue with him joining that firm, please explain it to me so that I can get it.
What Cantor is doing is perfectly legal. It is also perfectly corrupt.
By corrupt I refer to soiling of republican principles. The Framers inserted some deterrents to self-aggrandizement through government in the constitution. Alas, it is the nature of things when our federal republic first degraded (1913) into a democratic republic, and recently into open tyranny.
The best bet for young people to attain stable salary and good benefits is with government, especially the national government. It is a horrible reality in our once federal and Free Republic.
