Way too many lawyers and business men in politics. Sure they are suppose to uphold the laws of the land, but they keep tinking with what we have by passing new ones, rather than fixing old ones....or just enforcing old ones in some cases. They just keep passing laws and more laws. Or passing higher pay for themselves...they like doing that too.

Smart people (who aren't in the practise of law) don't go into politics anymore it seems. Or else they don't get far.
Worst.. is that they make decisions on highly technical subjects with no clue at all about the matter. Or if they *are* some technically educated type (e.g. doctor) they stopped actually practicing long ago and just run a business that does that sort of thing (throwing them back into the "how much money does this make me and my buddies?" pit rather than the "whats the best way for the country in this matter?").
