The leaders of this country need to start thinking like business people and less like ideologues.
Usually, those that think like business people are smart enough to make 10x the money staying in the private sector.
It's those that wish not to get rich, but to dictate living choices and public policy to others, that seek public office.
Govt is packed with zealots and ideologues that get their high by controlling the lives of others and soaking up praise and applause while doing so - most in the business world just want to get a paycheck and stay anonymous, retiring with their $ at 50 and enjoying the good life. You see Pelosi, worth hundreds of millions, still dealing with paperwork at 70 years old lol... it's about ideology for her. Changing the country as she sees fit, reveling in the power of it all.
