Serving your fellow man as a representative or senator is not supposed to be an aristocratic position. It is supposed to be an inconvenient obligation undertaken for a short time period. Then the obligation is supposed to be picked up by another patriot for a short time period. Further, after short term service, you are supposed to live under the laws you helped create, not above that law.

3,4,or 8 terms in the Senate is a Ruling Aristocracy. It is not in any way government by the people. Its Government over the people.

Regardless of party we need to elect alternatives to the career aristocrats.

You are so right and I'm so hoping this is the Republic President Trump wants to bring back. Representing your constituents was never meant to be a full time job in which you enrich yourself.
