They must read the financial threads on this forum.Have you seen the studies showing that members of Congress consistently beat the stock market? What do you think that means?
I am always dumbfounded how a country that was founded on the hate for monarchy and aristocracy (to the level that one has to give up any nobility titles before becoming a citizen) keeps voting for these (rich) dynasties of career politicians.
There is a reason we put a limit to presidential terms. Why would one vote for the same family, just with a different face? Kennedy, Bush, Clinton etc. Career politics breeds corruption, the longer in power the more corrupt.

It's the family business, just as half my med school class were offspring of doctors.
