You used the example of lobbyists to say term limits won't work?
<br>
<br>Term limits would reduce the influence of the lobbyists.
<br>People would serve one term then go back to the jobs they held before, just like the founding fathers envisioned.

<br>Good ol' fashioned greedy people will have to work for their money again.

<br>Greed is good (as Gordon Gecko said) in a market economy.
<br>
<br>It drives progress. Nobody invests in new research and development if there's no way to make money off it.<br><br>Welcome to the Center.

Taxman: No where in my post did I say directly or otherwise that Businessmen were more trustworthy than others.
<br>
<br>What I said, was that people do what is in their best interest, and by nature whats in the best interest of a career politician is the suckage of lobby cock, as opposed to the Citizen in Public Service who's best interest is best served by doing what will most likely be best for them once they are no longer in office. IE whats best for the common man/ non-career politician.
<br>
<br>This has nothing to do what-so-ever with trust.
<br>
<br>It is interesting to see how people kind of see what they want to see, hear what they want to hear, and read what they want to read based upon how programmed they are, or are not.<br><br>Ashenshugar
