I don't think that's true. While I agree that power is currently only 
accessible to the wealthy - something that most campaign finance reform 
plans I've seen have failed to adequately deal with, and which term limits 
don't even address - I don't agree that only those who are corrupt are 
attracted to public office. I believe there are people in office who truly 
want to change the world for the better, and who truly want to help people 
- their constituents, at least, and the larger community as well. Not all, 
I'm sure, but I don't think you can pick them out by the car they drive.

Cheers!
