Pensions for having held elected office were never a part of the vision for America and President-elect Trump is emblematic of a return to the American citizen-servant
Demonstrating a lack of understanding of America’s founding principles, a murder (that’s a bunch of cackling crows, for those who don’t know) of philosophizing academics are recommending that President-elect Donald Trump divest himself of his fortune before taking office. Only ignorance of this nation’s founding could prompt individuals, who call themselves ethics experts, to make such a call.
Institutionalized politics has managed to destroy the original intent of anyone seeking to serve, and I emphasize the word, the People by attaining elected office. So twisted has the District of Columbia, and every statehouse or city council chambers become that the Founders’ concept of citizen servants has been wiped out and replaced by office occupiers.
