Exactly. Every politician on both sides of the fence is nothing but a self-serving ***** who is primarily interested in their own wealth and power above anything else.

Term Limits have been in place in several Southern States in their respective Governors' Offices since 1790, or so.

It has not changed one thing:

One spokesman for the controlling interests goes out, another goes in.

What will change things- to the extent they can be changed- is public financing of elections.

That will get rid of the 'One dollar- two votes' system we have today.
