Turns out that Americans don't want their kids to grow up to be politicians...
"Compared with other possible careers, politics ranks fairly low in Americans' pecking order. A career in politics or government has historically ranked well behind those professions as well as law, business, teaching, and engineering."

Well, no shit? People don't want their kids growing up to be amoral bastards... Who would have thought? [/Sarcasm]
That being said, we do need some people who don't
lose their morality (and the fact that they are servants that are
strictly limited by the Constitution in what they can do) to run for/get
elected to these offices. The current crop of politicians are all
getting old and will die sooner or later. (Hopefully sooner rather than
later.) It's not like we can outsource this particular industry... If you want to think of public service as an industry...
