When did politics become a career field? Why would anyone aspire to become a politician? I know the answer to the second question. They work for their interests and special interests, all the while making a great deal of money without producing anything. In the work they have done, they created a new class called the “elite.” It’s hard to understand, but some of them now see themselves as modern day rulers.
In the beginning, and for many years, we called this career field public service, didn’t we? The people who entered the field were called public servants. Who did they work for? They worked for us, WE THE PEOPLE. What did they do? What did they make? They swore an oath to the US Constitution, and worked diligently for each American Citizen they represented, and for America as a whole. Then after they served their term of office, they went back to their career and job. They returned to the body politic we call WE THE PEOPLE. Best of all, these public servants were honest.
Today, I’d like to dedicate this BEACON OF HOPE to the virtues of honesty and public service. To the public servants we still have, this one’s for you.
WHAT IF WE REPLACED POLITICIANS WITH RANDOMLY SELECTED PEOPLE?
. . . remember that America’s best days aren’t behind her. America’s best days are ahead of her. They always have been and always will be.
