It is from the Thorndike & Barnhart dictionary, (the only one we have on hand in my area) and is defined as follows: POLITICIAN: 2) A person active in politics CHIEFLY for his OWN GAIN or that of his party! I don't know if this will satisfy Constitutional requirements, but it sums up my views rather well. I like your two proposals, they seem to have merit. There may be hope for Democracy yet, if the politicians don't pull the rug out from under us. I gave up trying to read the tax laws, I figure it's cheaper to spend $10-20 a year to have my taxes done by professionals than paying an anylist $50-100 per hour to help me recover my sanity every tax season. PEACE & BEST WISHES From the ever curious mind of: Steve Aldrich (ihnp4!ihuxj!amra)
