How about listing a few of these wealthy and influential people who have gone into politics to "make a difference?" And what "difference" did they want to make?

Is Dumbya on your list? He certainly came from a wealthy and influential family. Of course he tried to conceal that fact, pretending to be a good old boy from Texas.

What difference did Dumbya have in mind other than presiding over a massive transfer of wealth from the American middle class to the already wealthy?
