Jeb Bush has made more than $29 million since he left the Florida governor’s office in 2007 — vastly increasing his wealth through a combination of speaking fees, corporate board memberships, investments and a consulting contract with a global bank that paid $2 million a year.

-> Clintons made about $200 million since Bill Clinton left the office. One can't dream of running for public office until he/she is rich or has backing of the rich. This holds true for India as well. It is sad to see democracy evolve into a system of, by and for the rich.
