Coop, great point! Most of these guys in office are nothing more than an overrated high school class president, just a bit more corrupt. I have always said that political positions should come with requirements that include running a successful business or having some higher qualifications, not just an education (I wasn’t a huge fan of Mitt Romney, but that man probably was best qualified from a business standpoint to run this country). I dropped out of college to start a thriving company that still seems to be doing quite well. From an education standpoint I don’t qualify to be a politician, but from a business standpoint I think I would do a hell of a lot better than most guys in there right now. My only problem is I would actually be voting on behalf of the people in this country which doesn’t get you too far. Everyone goes to the right or left, while I believe the path to stability in this country is narrow and straight!
