There seemed to be a time when we didn't mind so much if these people were relatively well off. We had an expectancy that they were intelligent, well schooled, of good character and derived a good income in no small way to try and ensure that they didn't have financial problems that would see them tempted by 'offers' for favours. We all know we live in a hierarchical society; traditionally (for the most part) based on opportunity and competency. Now it appears that these principles have gone to shit in a handbasket.

@gordoncharles741 I use "competency based" in a general societal term. Those with higher intelligence, better education and abilities tend to better than others. Politics is a bit different although even they have to have certain 'talents' to get where they are.

@johnm7267 They have an open and complete contempt for the people they profess to serve. In some ways it's our fault because we prefer to accept a situation where we have at least something rather than risk losing everything by enforcing change.
