"Musical Political Chairs"

If you look at all the “appointments” in Washington, you’ll find that there is a very small group of people who are perennially elected or “appointed” to powerful offices. These are the members of the “elites” who run Washington, no matter which party is in power. They go from job to job, dipping once in a while into private employment, until it’s safe to appoint them again to a powerful government job. As former federal employees, their pay continues uninterrupted, even while they are out of government office. Then they get paid twice for the same time. Once from the government, and second from their private job. That's one way they get their "payoffs" "legally." That’s how previous elites have set it up so they will keep being paid, even if they do no work for years. (Just common sense)
