And of course I would whole heartedly agree with you. But without term limits the only way to suggest mandatory retirement for those that won't resign is to pull the perks and vote them out. This might for a short while allow a better class of politician to govern until they too are corrupted and need to be dismissed. I live in VA where our Govenor gets one term in office and can do what needs doing without the backlash from cronyism. Seems to work for us pretty well though personally I'm rather hard to please.
