Do you think its a mistake to vote very rich politicians into office since they can't relate to average common man and woman struggle?

I don't care about his past honest gains. I care about his obedience to his oath of office. And how well he holds others in office accountable unto theirs. Any real president would call for the immediate decommissioning of any bureau that has no constitutional authority to exist. The CIA, EPA, and DoE would be right at the top. He'd also call for tribunals, that all agents who enforced null and void unconstitutional measures under the color of law to violate the rights of citizens be treated as domestic enemies, and face the harshest punishment reasonable. He'd extend this to the judiciary, and demolish this illusion that they're unaccountable demigods.

Next, Congress would feel the heat. They'd have nowhere to run or hide for their endless crimes! They'd finally feel what they've made civilians feel for decades: a seemingly almighty boot to the neck!

The houses will be swept clean. The sound of pigs in a slaughterhouse will be heard from every direction! "News" outlets who let themselves become Mockingbird operation centers will be next to feel the sting.

At this point, holy war on the left would be fully justified. He'd advocate the reformatting of US currency, and put the banksters in Gitmo.

This could lead to war with China, but screw Pooh! He can be next to have the entire incendiary clip emptied into his skull! To suffer as his idol, Mao, should have suffered ages ago! Why settle for liberating Hong Kong, when we can liberate all of China? Make the rivers natural colors again! Restore the beauty of China that's been lost!

A humanity that finally aggressively and militantly forsakes the Tower of Babel mindset. Then, we can punish those cannibals and brutes that run Nepal and Myanmar, and liberate Sri Lanka from those sadists that want every living being branded with a QR code as if they were property! Cleanse the world of this globalist totalitarian disease!

[SlangSlayer]

I'll take a guy making 80k a year over any of these politicians.

but you also gotta be careful or people who's identity driven as well.

You have people like AOC who put or endorse their personal beliefs over the good of the people.

Back to your question.

Look at Democrat Nancy pepoloi she clearly doing inside trading and only cares about making herself rich.

Then look at people on the right who want to cut social security for old people and Disabled and give money to big pharmaceutical. Trying to force people back to work. During 2020. Said grandpa would be ok with dying.

They care about their money first they are greedy think they are above everybody else or think they know best

[StevieNix]

Why would anyone vote for a politician to manage the country?

I'll take a Trump or Perot, anytime over a loser politician.

Tell me ONE good thing that Joey has done. (other than shitting his pants in front of the Pope)

[TrueConfection]

I don't care how much money a person has as long as they are from the private sector. I'm more concerned about a politician becoming a multimillionaire AFTER taking office.

[DCooper]

You juat saved me the trouble of typing that exact same response.

[Stoner710]

for the most part yes, trump was the exemption he knew what middle america deals with Biden doesn't biden is the true dictator in chief

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Trump the exception? 😂 like Trump gives a flying you know what about the average working person.

Trump inherited a upward postive economy from Obama, who when he inherited the economy from Bush Jr had nowhere to go but up since it was a total disaster.

[Stoner710]

Obama economy was alright trump who is a businessman knew what he was doing which made him understand the construction workers hotel workers happy workers make your business run better this is why Trump is the reception here most millionaires and billionaires don’t understand what it’s like for middle America

[exitseven]

It is a double edged question. If they are rich they are less susceptible to bribes. If they were very wealthy and were raised in a wealthy family they are not aware of how middle class people have to live.
President Trump was a rich kid but still worked hard his whole life and knew what it takes to run a business and how much a gallon of gas is.

[ArtemisSilver]

Absolutely, you don't leave a fox to guard the henhouse.

[maximumpower]

Ever notice that most aren't millionaires when they get into office but - strangely - are when they leave?
Think about it.

[gorydetails]

Have you noticed they're not rich until they get into office?

[DryGermanGuy]

Which country’s politicians are you referring to, boyo?

[gorydetails]

@DryGermanGuy I’m not your boy.

[collie22]

if a politician has really has been rich all there life maybe they won't need to do those dirty deeds to get rich. i don't really know just thinking

[CaptainSmartass]

Voting is a mistake, as it only encourages politicians and legitimises politics and activism.

Simples...

[Anonymous]

And the UK may very well have another super rich prime minister soon.

[EnglishEuropean]

Of course but they are the only ones who can afford to campaign.

[Anonymous]

Usually rich people have the money to get started in politics. Do you have the money or the clout to run in a political office?

[Cubus]

90% of politicians are very rich.

[888theGreat]

Nope, but they are all rich
