[quote=Anonymous]When did the job turn into a money-making enterprise? Very interested in the history of this. Were George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, etc all wealthy before or after being president? And I don't mean they own plantation with slaves, I mean loaded. Seems that most American politicians are increasingly doing remarkably well financially. And even if they're marred by controversy-- i.e. sex scandals, shady dealings-- their net worth is still often 7-8 figures. Sure, some start off wealthy, i.e. GWB, but are the roles of senator, congressman, President, etc. supposed to end with cha-ching? Is this what the founders set out for or expected? [/quote]
