Been watching several videos on it, and one complaint I’ve seen in general is Congress has too many fucking lawyers in office and the fact that there’s way too many lawyers means no one in Congress has had a “normal” job before politics. Another one is the whole complaining about corporate lobbying, but idk how you ban corporate lobbying without banning individual lobbying.
On the whole too many lawyers thing, several states in Australia have outright banned property developers and real estate agents from running for office, and there’s talk of making it federal, so I’m curious if that’s even constitutional in the US, just because having so many lawyers in Congress has turned out to be a problem.
I don't care if you ban both.
Here is what I mean: Of course representatives will be allowed to listen to their constituents, including business owners. It's the bribery I want rid of.
In my system of justice, you don't get to write a big check to an office holder or candidate and then wink and nod when they do what you want.
And hell no it is not constitutional to ban certain professions or licensees from office.
