(Sidebar: In defense of my son's father, when I initially met him, he had a good
office job working for Bell Atlantic, but
got caught up
into the times of street life and fast money as many young men did during that period, but he's a good

This is usually how it goes: politician wannabe

guy takes vacation in Italy (or goes for a hike on the Appalachian trail)...
gets re-elected, the word
gets out that he «plays,» more private sector
guys contribute to his campaign, voters are pleased to see the name of their representative in print, like the new wardrobe, the new hairstyle, believe all change is good and re-elect the politician again... politician feels the power, creates agency to watch over private sector
guy, agency takes fact - finding trip to France... raises taxes on private sector
guy, writes legislation that taxes private sector
guy if his plant emits CO2 while producing widgets... voters are in awe and re-elect the politician... private sector
guy whines, politician makes him ambassador to Taiwan, limits how much the new private
guy taking his place can earn, and taxes all widgets so new private
guy will make more environmentally friendly ones... voters swoon, pay more for widgets, lose job in widget factory, hate private
guy, re-elect their pol... politician buries $ 5 billion aid to Taiwan in next appropriation bill...... kind of makes a case for term limits, doesn't it.
