Meh. I don't really care. The rich have always been in charge. But in the case of politicians, the "rich" part almost always came before the "in charge" part. My cousin was actually looking to run for public office awhile back, and after a bit of examination he realized that it would not be possible for him to run his full-time business and be a politician at the same time. If you want a huge payoff, you stay in the private sector--politics gets you power, but the money realistically has to come from somewhere else.
