- nine_zeros 6y agoWhen people are so entrenched and need to make a living, they will make a living out of what they are entrenched in. There are no other real career choices for them besides continuing in politics.
- dwohnitmok 6y agoIsn't it the case that those politicians who leave office and continue to work (mostly those who are not of retirement age) almost always make more money in their post-office careers than while they were in-office as a politician?
