A politicians main job is procuring money for their own pet projects that get them re elected, they care less about the cause or where the money comes from. And of course, lining their pockets along the way. No such thing as a middle class Congressman or Judge.
I have been a fan of term limits for almost all of my life. But there never seems to be any of the movement toward term limits in Congress and the House. I would even extend it to the Supreme Court. The jobs should not be life long careers.
Wrench, a Police Officer has to deal with the worst scum on a daily basis. The druggies, rapists, thieves, child molesters, and all of the petty criminals. And, they have to deal with restraint while doing it. If it were me, I personally would just stomp the crap out of most of them and put them out of our misery, but the police bring them in for justice and enter them into our judicial system. They do it for low pay, abuse their bodies physically while doing it not covered under OSHA safety rules, have to wear a ton of gear, and maintain a public image while doing it. Its not an easy job. And it a deadly job, they die in the line of duty all of the time.
