Are professional politicians a necessary evil? OR ....

.... is there a way to run the government with citizen office holders elected for one or two terms maximum? SOMEONE’S interests which are not yours and mind are bring furthered by professional politicians. Look at the sleaze be it bribes, sex abuse, lies, election fraud, professional politicians are a distasteful bunch. Do we need them? Wouldn’t we be better off without them?

Utah for example is run by one legislative body not two consisting of less than 50 people doing it PART TIME. If Utahans can do it why not the rest of us?

It would seem a good start would be removing the incentives that create professional politicians. Our representatives should represent their constituents, not corporate lobbyists or lobbyists from special interest groups of any sort. All lobbyists should be banned. All corporate and special interest group donations to campaigns should be banned. No exceptions.
