[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's ridiculous.

But among US presidents, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, and JFK were all incredibly wealthy men when they took office.

There's an assumption in American politics that the super rich aren't beholden to special interests. [b]Barack Obama and Bill Clinton had fairly normal finances when they were elected. Today, Obama and Clinton are among the richest men in America. [/b]They are each worth more than a quarter billion dollars - all of it "earned" when they left office.

Who really is more corrupt? The person that comes in to power rich, or the person that leaves it super rich? [/quote]

But at least they understood where regular people were coming from when they started their Presidency. People who have been rich all their lives really don’t know what it’s like to live in the real world.[/quote]
+1 They have no clue about ordinary citizens worries.

Also, I don't blame former POTUS for getting rich. They write books and get paid to give speeches. Big deal.

A lot of the plutocrats are the elites who are in bed with global dictators like Putin.[/quote]
