How it was earned and what is with it because of having money is the difference between tolerating the rich and eating them. If you're a billionaire going into public service to enrich the lives of your constituents in various ways? Great. If you're a billionaire and you run for office only to pad your pockets and pass legislation that benefits friends and family? Get out the cauldron and start heating some water-that billionaire is about to become soup.
