Is there such a thing as a serious 'States-person'? (Politician, or 'political Office holder')

Certainly, one should not be required to be wealthy to run for public office. If anyone comes from modest means when s/he 'ascends' the 'pinnacle of institutional power', its very likely that s/he won't be of 'modest means' when s/he 'descends'. Of course, there's a lot of 'personal exposure', once one sits at the 'Top'. The question is always "did the change in 'finances' come from the political exposure or from 'somewhere' else"? We must 'immediately' eliminate those that are already rich when they run for Office, because they are already rich. Democracy is a political value not an economic value. It tries to balance-out the inequities in the economy. Of course, not everyone within the Top 1%, wants to 'run' for Office, but, nevertheless, there seems to be personal enjoyment in being 'greedy', or, 'hoarding a medium of exchange', or "being on the Forbes List. The problem with that attitude is that, it is an 'economic attitude', as contrasted, with a 'political attitude'. Greed is an economic value, easily 'inhabiting' a human beings personal value system. Of course, there's a clear distinction, or should be, between 'political values' and 'economic values'. If everyone in the Nation was 'rich', such a problem would not exist; i.e., no one would run for Office for the purpose of becoming 'rich'. But, apparently, that's not the issue. The issue seems to be, not so much 'money' per se, as, a problem of 'greed'. "Greed" is a certain 'grasping-ness' that is characterized by the 'fact' that 'economic values' are quantifiable, and hence, 'more and more' of the 'same' acquires a 'momentum', not easily overcome. Some of us live 'economically', not 'politically'. Some of us, don't live 'economically, nor politically'. Some of us just, 'don't count'. Can anyone live 'Politically', i. e., in Freedom and Equality? That's the issue. Can a 'politician' possess 'pure political values', as contrasted, with 'economic values' or, 'greed'? Notice, the 'political values' are qualified with the word "pure". Of course, "purity" in that sense cannot exist. There's a little of both in every politician. We can only hope for more of the 'political', than the 'economic'. But, "Greed" is an abnormal 'acquisitiveness', that seems to contaminate the 'political values' of Freedom and Equality, and hence, should not be allowed at the Top of Government. Well, I guess we should just become, as best we can, 'good judges' of the 'moral and political values' of our candidates. No 'greedy' person should be allowed at the Top.
