Government: We need real world winners

Do we really want the best and brightest to serve and lead our great country? Do we really want to be free of career politicians?

Do we want those who serve to return to the real world when their terms are finished? Won’t it be good that those who will help make our laws, also have to live by them?

Then why do we expect elected officials to divorce themselves from their lifetime businesses? Did our Founders keep Mount Vernon and Monticello during their terms?

This could be a new dawn for our country. Let’s embrace opportunity.
