i've thought about that, especially when i was younger, but i don't anymore think it's a good solution. there is a very high probability that we would have a large number of very unqualified people filling such positions -- and very unqualified people in a lot of important jobs is a bad scene. a very bad scene.
what i tend to think now is that ((1)) we need congressional term limits ((2)) congress & especially the presidency need to be unpaid or minimum-wage jobs with no monetary advantage whatsoever ((i.e. book deals etc need to be outlawed, insider trading needs to be strongly enforced, and any and all potential revenue streams from holding office should not be paid to the office-holder but to the government itself as though tax, so that NO ONE profits from politics)) and ((3)) which is an extension of ((2)) and really ought to be called ((0)) because it's the bottom line IMO --- political office should have ZERO monetary motivation attached to it whatsoever. in fact it ought to maybe financially HURT to be a political leader, instead of PROFIT.
NO ONE should see politics as a way to become rich and/or powerful, and no one should see politics as a 'career'
overall goal is that qualified, motivated people hold such positions and DO NOT hold such positions in order to profit from them.
over the last 5 years we've witnessed a man who tried to use the presidency and the merchandising of the gospel to fraudulently, effectively become king of America, destroying our democracy in the process. both as Americans and as Christians we ought have serious pause about this, really examining our entire political process and just how much we've been used and deceived by the world as a 'visible church.'
