In Theory They Are

I am a conservative Republican as most of us are but I am pretty down on both parties. We have strayed so far from what this country was set up to be. The founding fathers specifically did not want to set up a system that created entitlement for public servants and did not want to set them up as "royalty".
The plan was that they serve their time, then go back to their "real jobs" and let another take their place.
Both parties say what they need to get elected and for the most part, do only what they need to do to stay in office. Why wouldn't they? Lifetime salary better than most people make, no taxes, and lifetime health coverage.
I believe the only way to fix things is to establish term limits for every elected official all the way down to dog catcher.
I also think we should remove the "benefits" and force these elected officials to get a "real job" when they leave office.
How did we get to the point where the law makers create laws for citizens that don't apply to them?
