     Scott,
    I have a definition that fits my concept of a politician. 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)
