Unfortunately, the three former occupations with the greatest likelihood of being detrimental to our nation’s economy, security, and future viability are grossly over-represented in the current House of Representatives
- Lawyers: Trained in the art of legal deception, they easily and masterfully deceive the public regarding content and meaning in their 1000+ page bills.
- College Professors: Excellent grasp of theory that may be brilliant in the isolation of Academia but unrealistic in practice when complicating, real world, influences enter into the equation.
- Career politicians: Lifetime tax-payer supported individuals who lack the occupational experience and perspective necessary to understand the importance of a small non-productive sector (government) with a large productive (private sector) to economic prosperity of nations.
