The Case For Herschel: elected officials with background in business, not law, your auctioneers, car salesmen, intensive care nurse, pizza shop owners

[basquebromance]

the Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators without regard to profession, age, or religious faith

they would be frugal and practical, living within their means like they say government should

they're just passing through DC, like a platoon of Marines liberating a Middle Eastern country, and they just might burn the village down while they do it

Maybe, it may seem that way, but there is no proof; and there is definitely an age restriction. So, it appears that you are an amateur at composing arguments.

they would be frugal and practical, living within their means like they say government should

Who said that and what happened that it is not, as you believe it should be?

they're just passing through DC, like a platoon of Marines liberating a Middle Eastern country, and they just might burn the village down while they do it

That is quite an analogy. Reads as though you do not trust the government model to prevent that. What happened?
