While I'll admit that politicians are a little more intelligent and
informed than the general populace, this doesn't qualify them to run
the country.

Most of them are NOT as smart as the people they tax the highest, namely
rich, self-made people.   They certainly aren't smarter than the collective
of all the people who made their own fortunes - and yet they claim they know
better how to spend their money.   They aren't smarter than me, and least
not in my profession, yet they seek to govern and regulate it.

Why do we let them take control of our lives?  Is it so they can keep the
masses in check, too, not hurting us to much in theory?  Is it because
you truly believe they are better than you at directing your life and the
disposition of your money?  Which reason is it?
