No professional politicians

We should remove professional politicians from politics. Whenever someone depends upon politics for their personal survival, they are open to greed, financial persuasion and corruption - basically not representing your interests, but their own. Any position that requires special education should be hired and not elected. A good example are the 6 main senators that have shaped the healthcare bills - their salaries are about $200,000 a year but their political contributions from insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies and other special interests total about 1.2 million dollars per senator. The conflict should be obvious, the American public is not being served. I think limiting a president's term to one non-renewable 6 year term would be one step in the right direction. With no concern for re-election, they would be better serving. Elected positions should be service and not competitions to "win" offices. We need to get back to what government is supposed to be about by ridding the nature of professional "politicianism."
