ROTF,LMAO! The nominal salary and the real salary were quite
different. Party bosses lived high off the hog, as you know full well.
The President of the United States get, what, a $400,000 annual salary?
And a tenure limited by the Constitution to 8 years maximum.
Yet a dozen or more people will collectively spend nearly a billion
dollars to "apply for" that job!
Explain that!

At that level its not money, its the power and other perks.

I will accept the rules that you feel necessary to your freedom. I am free,
no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them;
if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I
alone am morally responsible for everything I do.
