Pumps' Perplexities

When American was formed its founders set up a
government of the people.....Elected officials went to
Washington DC, represented the people who sent
him there and then went back home to resume
their life........Good system......

Then someone found out they had a job in Washington,
that was better then the one home, if they just stayed
there and got re-elected every so often.....The longer
you hung around, DC, the more power you got --- boy!
not a bad "gig".......

In two hundred years plus, the original idea has turned
into a mess......Politicians spend more time trying to
get re-elected, and hold on to their good job, then they
care about the people who voted them into office.......

But the system has not become fool proof.....Thanks to
the Founding Fathers......That is because of the word
VOTE.......Every 2, 4 or 6 years the "people" can
vote someone OUT of office and another one IN.......

What also gets me is that some politicians just "fear"
being voted "out of office"......Like they are not going to
starve or anything like that......Like they have the
best health care coverage in the world.....Like they
don't have to worry about an old age pension.........

What causes the fear of "loss of power", in men, that
they just become a useless political organism....Pumps
