        Unfortunately, yeah, they sure seem to expect that. And it ain’t working out for them.

        We need to encourage any political representative that wants an easy job to step aside. When it comes to your constituents, lead, follow, or get out of the way. Sitting on ass and accepting a paycheck is amoral.
