But where’s the fun of being a Leftist authoritarian tyrant if you can’t push some peasants around? Why go to the trouble of becoming a politician?
For the betterment of the USA? To make sure all of our citizens are treated with respect, that we have a blind and honest judicial system, to root out corruption wherever it's found, to make sure we don't have pols sucking up millions of graft? To be good stewards of our hard-earned tax money? To assure a fiscally sound nation with sound money supply? To make sure that citizenship is meaningful and that citizens have different rights and privileges from criminals who sneak into the USA?
That's what Mr. Smith thought when he went to Washington...
