Because selfless people who give their working life to the public sector, could be reaping billions, but work for the good of America.

Until Bill Clinton left office, Bill never had a house to call his own.
Had very little money, now gives hundreds of millions to charity.

as an example.

Many others give tons of money in charity for many liberal causes, even those that some may not like their political view point.

Money is a good thing when used for good things.

But, just look at President Obama and his family, look at LBJ, look at Ted Kennedy- gave their who lives in public service

(and I would take LBJ over any of the founding fathers...who in actuality, didn't sacrifice all that much personally
unless one thinks there should be a new draft? Is that what the author is saying, to bring back the draft???

(maybe that can be expanded on- does the book in the OP advocate a national military draft?
