If politicians are not to be paid, who exactly would enter politics?
Wealthy people who want to create laws to benefit them
Funded radical people to create or repeal laws to benefit them

Early politicians had jobs, because it wasn’t something that required 60 hours a week, and it was more temporary. That should indicate how big government has gotten and why we have career politicians getting rich. If we still had the republic in tact, they wouldn’t need the money.

Early politicians owned businesses and had the foresight to see how being a politician gave them an advantage.
or they were planted by business owners
In the province of Saskatchewan, the deal was made that CP Rail would pay no taxes in perpetuity. No one expected that CP Rail would grow into hotels and tourism among other things. It was imbedded in the constitution, in fact. Did those in politics need a salary after that coup?
This year the senate killed that deal, but not without a fight from CPI don't necessarily agree with everything I say.

what a noise maker you are. Mobilization is in fact partial. They are drawing 300 thousands, mostly reservists. Picture a reserve, where you get paid for a fkn decades for military training on your weekends and occasional camps. This is old boys club. Except, once in a lifetime, you actually have to pay back by serving your country.
Russian's potential pool to draw from is millions. So those 300 thousands (target figure) is peanuts, overblown by media as usual, and should have been done back in February.
The information I am getting from my sources, is that there are lot of volunteers, and some deserters. It has always been like that, historically. Peculiar fact though, volunteers are mostly mature men, and those who trying to run (though no one is drafting them) are younger half-men who never learnt to be a man. No biggie.

Well I can affirm you're an attorney, this is a message board, we don't need to enter the evidence of invasion into the thread
Being a politician is a pretty low paying low job comparably. 90% of Congress/Senate are Attorneys who could make much more lobbying or in private practice working 9-5.
That said, who the fuk needs all these new laws? Another word for these folks is "Lawmakers."
They're sitting around all day making new laws, fuk I honestly think we got enough laws already.
Early on in the Trump charade he said that for every new law congress enacted they would have to strike down two old ones. What a great idea, "didn't happen, fake truth, never said that" etc.Don't put that on me Ricky Bobby, don't you ever put that on me.

It all depends, typically it is very low pay, but it can also be very lucrative.
The problem is the career itself.
It’s 100 percent geared to corrupt it’s own people. If you aren’t corrupted you will struggle as a career politician.
My BIL has a masters in political science. He wasted lots of time living in a fuking van working for the Democrats. Don’t think he is even a democrat anymore, he wears red hats.

Statism is brain disease. You clearly are a follower. Why would you want a bunch of corrupt politicians dictate to you how to live your life? Because you are afraid to manage your own Rights to Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness, that's why.
Statists are the problem. You were born free, but you decided that you would rather die a slave. How sad.This above all..

Why is it you two jackoffs feel the need to belittle people who don't follow your line of thinking? You just called 56 a follower, yet both of you claim to believe in god, you both are followers and living your life in fear of your sky daddy, you couldn't possibly be bigger sheep or followers.
If there is anyone with a brain disease it's you two fuks, I have the utmost respect for people devout in their beliefs, I have friends who are Christians and trust me they don't go around beaking off like you two nut jobs.
You want to live in a world that you will never see and you say others aren't happy? You seem like a couple of the most miserable people on here. I have paid taxes, sure I would like to pay less. Am I unhappy? Hell no, I have an awesome life, everything I ever wanted and more, I am retired, have a great home, family and financially set for life. That is something that would be a lot more difficult in other countries.
I was in an area that I didn't like the weather, I moved. Why the hell don't you move to a country that is better suited for you instead of whining and complaining constantly about something you wont ever see here. I am willing to bet that if either of you two got the world that you want you still wouldn't be happy and want your old life back. Just a couple of chronic complainers imo.
Give it a rest for fuks sakes you aren't impressing anyone and look like fools pushing your Free Dumb thinking on others and calling people down simply because they aren't buying your bullsh!t.Air Force Veteran 1976 - 1999 - Cannabis Enthusiast since the 1960's

Are we still on topic, or have we moved to the standard, belittle and make character assassinations of others?
It is usually by page 2 when the fighting begins and the real on topic debate ends.
just asking, lol?There is an unspoken thing, we are iron brothers and sisters, we are to support each other and...It is our duty to support our brothers and sisters in the iron game!

Haven't you people learned from so many MSM lies?
And no, I do not support Putin. I do not support braindead statism, either. Dat $hit is brain disease.
