Should there be minimum educational qualification for political leaders?
Yes, but not in the traditional sense. They should know what it means to live in a ghetto, to be poor, to struggle paying the bills for years on end, have their car break down all the time, have their house be repossesed, be homeless for a minimum of 4 years with little children and being a single parent at the same time. Or they could own a business and lose it when Walmart comes to town and they lose everyhting.They should lose their pension like the people who worked for Enron, they should be comfortable for a while and lose everything again. They’d be less apt to judge others and claim to know what’s best for everyone without having lived a real life. I won’t vote for anyone who hasn’t got a hand on the pulse of the people in this country, it’s no wonder they only help their friends get richer, they are the only ones they can identify with. People sense and common sense should be required, obviously it isn’t. Anyone can go to college, provided you can afford it, and learn to be boo
